In the current project I have used Log4J through Apache Commons Logging in a Spring-based application - this is the common configuration in Spring components.

Because of business requirements on bigger flexibility of logging configuration I have to switch to the Log4J successor - LogBack. I included SLF4J and jcl-over-slf4j to my POM and did not change any line in my Java code. Afterwords I just replaced the log4j.xml with logback.xml, and finished - each library / framework included in the application happily logs using logback - even if they originally have not been designed for logback.

Summary: Apache commons logging API is a de-facto standard in the open-source community. If we would go in different direction, there is a chance to go in conflicts with other OSS frameworks / libraries. The implementation of this API may be replaced by any other new logging product, that has to support this API - because of the current de-facto standard position.
