------------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove dependency to commons logging from API
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-614
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-614
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.9
            Reporter: Oliver Heger
             Fix For: 2.0


Commons Configuration uses Commons Logging as logging framework (which is fine).

Some methods of the public API reference logger objects; for instance, a specific logger can be set for each configuration instance. This is problematic because the logging framework cannot be changed without breaking binary compatibility. Even if there was a new major release of Commons Logging, we could not switch to this new version.

As a solution a minimum logging abstraction can be created, e.g. a class {{ConfigurationLogger}}. This class can be exposed in the public API. Internally, it still delegates to Commons Logging.
