We use common logging with a thin Clojure layer around it. It allows us to have different behaviors in dev pre-prod and production. We avoid the hassle of configuring log4j in dev. The default implementation (simple logging) is more than enough most of the time.
In prod, we specify the log4j configuration on the java command line and we then get rolling appenders, etc... which are essential features given the nature of our application.
