Hi The other log4j file is the log4j-sandbox-0.1alpha.jar. This contains the InitContextListener for Log4J amongst other things.
I added the log4j jar file to the struts-shale-usecases webapps lib directory and it started ok. So conclusion is that if log4j is in the common/lib directory it won't start, while it will start with the same jar file in the web-inf/lib directory. I suspect that this has to do with the way Shale (i.e commons-logging) initializes the logging. When running in any container, you need to handle logging specially to avoid log intermixing (which is why I use InitContextListener and place it in common/lib).

I just added a dependency on log4j-1.2.8 to the use-cases, added commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties to WEB-INF/classes, built and deployed it. It starts up normally. That's with the log4j .jar file in WEB-INF/lib, however. You mention _two_ log4j jars, which could be a problem. Where were they? If you have multiple copies of the same class(es) available on the classpath, strange things can happen. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
