Hello Boris, Not much luck. I verified that I am running the latest versions of commons-logging and log4j. I kept log4j direct in the webapp to avoid any chance of commons-logging getting confused, as described in the article below. I also removed any reference to log4j or commons-logging from shared/ and common/.
I tried something even simpler: a single Web app in its own context with *nothing* but a /index.jsp and a single Filter class. No JSF, no facelets, no EL, nothing in WEB-INF/lib except for log4j-1.2.13.jar, which is the latest.... and it still hangs. This leaves the unavoidable conclusion that it *must* be some interaction between log4j and Tomcat. I can think of nothing else to try except following the commons-logging FUD page below, but I am unsure how that would impact. Help? :-( Boris Unckel wrote: > Hello Avi, > > Avi Deitcher wrote: > >> Boris, >> >> Thank you, too.
