http://commons.apache.org/logging/commons-logging-1.1.1/guide.html#Creating%20a%20Log%20Implementation edit the simplelogging.properties configuration file contains configuration options org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog class specifically you need to set these options org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog - Default logging detail level for all instances of SimpleLog. Must be one of: tracedebuginfowarnerrorfatal If not specified, defaults to info. org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.xxxxx - Logging detail level for a SimpleLog instance named "xxxxx". Must be one of: tracedebuginfowarnerrorfatal If not specified, the default logging detail level is used.org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showlogname - Set to true if you want the Log instance name to be included in output messages. Defaults to false.org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showShortLogname - Set to true if you want the last component of the name to be included in output messages. Defaults to true.org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime - Set to true if you want the current date and time to be included in output messages. Default is false.org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.dateTimeFormat - The date and time format to be used in the output messages. The pattern describing the date and time format is the same that is used in java.text.SimpleDateFormat. If the format is not specified or is invalid, the default format is used. The default format is yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss:SSS zzz. Place simplelogging.properties configuration in same location as commons-logging.jar (usually in WEB-INF/lib folder) and everything will work after reloading your webapp if not unzip jar contents to WEB-INF/classes and place a copy of simplelogging.properties there Martin ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.
