An alternative is the following: (1) Create the file commons-logging.properties and put it in WEB-INF/classes with the following contents:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog (2) Create the file simplelog.properties and also place it in WEB-INF/classes with the following content: org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=trace Note that this will generate *A TON* of messages (all that can be in fact), and you may want to limit it by adjusting the level in simplelog.properties. Take a look at this Wiki entry: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/How_to_Configure_the_Logging_Factory_and_the_Logging_Class ...and click the SimpleLog link near the bottom for more details on the levels. -- Frank W.
