Bob,
Thanks. Unfortunately, I am running it on my laptop (Windows) where I
need to keep it for now as a dev environment. I run a small consulting
business, this is an "on the side" product that need to be run whenever
I can catch time.
I would love to be able to get Tomcat to tell me what it is doing, but I
am afraid that enabling logging in Tomcat itself might pollute the
environment and make the problem worse.
Ironically, Tomcat has neither log4j nor commons-logging in its
$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib nor server/lib, which makes me wonder how it is
using commons-logging in its own classes at all....
