Thank you!!! Amazingly, there is little to no information on this on the web. It’s like everyone is in denial, protecting the wonderful open source community. Hey if we ship crap like this, no wonder Microsoft is kicking our **s. I have been trying to chase this beast down for two weeks with no success. What a pile of crap this Commons-Logging mess is! I first ran into this when generating a web client to access a web service. To my shock, I found myself getting errors for a logging system I didn't even use, all from code I didn't even write! My shock turned from frustration to downright anger at the magnitude of this sloppy mess created by some arrogant goofball trying to be a software "architect". All that is needed here is a simple factory or abstract factory pattern - instead we get some convoluted mess that doesn't even work. Okay, I feel better now. I’ll see if I can get this up and running by trying your solution and let you know what happens… Wow, I can’t believe I have found someone to help with this problem. Thank you!!!
