> Using version 1-0-3 I was getting an 
> org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException while attempting to 
> retrieve a Log instance from the LogFactory. This LogConfigurationException was 
> wrapping an InvocationTargetException from the newInstance() method in 
> org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl. An InvocationTargetException 
> does not provide any information regarding the cause of the exception in its' 
> stack trace so I had a difficult time determining the true cause of the error 
> (A ClassNotFoundException).
> I would suggest adding a special case to the existing catch clause in 
> newInstance() to catch an InvocationTargetException and throw a new 
> LogConfigurationExeption constructed with the cause (not the 
> InvocationTargetException object).
> The following would be the new catch clause:
>         } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
>             throw new LogConfigurationException(e.getCause());
>         } catch (Throwable t) {
>             throw new LogConfigurationException(t);
>         }
> The modified newInstance() method would look like this:
>     protected Log newInstance(String name) throws LogConfigurationException {
>         Log instance = null;
>         try {
>             Object params[] = new Object[1];
>             params[0] = name;
>             instance = (Log) getLogConstructor().newInstance(params);
>             if (logMethod != null) {
>                 params[0] = this;
>                 logMethod.invoke(instance, params);
>             }
>             return (instance);
>         } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
>             throw new LogConfigurationException(e.getCause());
>         } catch (Throwable t) {
>             throw new LogConfigurationException(t);
>         }
>     }
