Re: struts 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 upgrade conflict log4j

[Joe Germuska]

The Category class in log4j has been deprecated for a long time, and 
I recall some recent discussions on the commons-dev list about 
bringing commons-logging "up-to-date" with that.  I don't remember 
the details, but basically you just need to have compatible versions 
of commons-logging and log4j.  The project site for commons-logging 
or the commons-dev or commons-user mailing list archives may have 
more details.

Hello all,
I downloaded struts 1.2.4 yesterday to replace the 1.2.2 version that
I am developping against. However, testing my application with the new
jars (I copied all of the jars in the 1.2.4 tarball to the WEB-INF/lib
directory of my webapp) generates an exception:

Is there something special I must do to make this work? I have log4j
version 1.2.8 installed. The problem goes away if I replace the
commons-logging jar with the one from the struts 1.2.2 distribution.
Thanks for any input,
Ian.
