Hi Malcolm and Joe, I have to echo Joe's comments: Velocity's behaviour with log4j and Commons Logging is one of the things I find I find most irritating in general development terms (as everything else is so nice and simple and works fine on the whole).
I have _never_ been able to get logging to work satisfactorily (admittedly, I gave up a while back and haven't tried again). Why a log4j.xml rather than properties? I always have log4j.properties at the root of the classpath: this gets routinely ignored by Velocity, I'm sorry to say. It's not too big a deal to me and can accept a separate log file, but it would be good if (like many other apps/frameworks; e.g. Spring) Velocity just transparently picked-up my log4j config and output to the same file as everything else.
