+ == How Can I Use Commons-Logging In JBoss 4.0.2? ==
+ 
+ {{{
+ I'm using JBoss 4.0.2. Commons-Logging doesn't seem to recognize the commons-logging.properties file in my WAR. Help!
+ }}}
+ 
+ Some JBoss services use commons-logging, so it's on the server classpath. Copies of commons-logging loaded from a webapp's WEB-INF/lib folder were causing type conflicts with the version on the server classpath, so beginning with version 4.0.2 JBoss disables loading commons-logging from a WAR.  This has the side effect of preventing commons-logging from accessing logging libraries that are placed in the WEB-INF/lib folder.
+ 
+ Fortunately, there is an easy fix:
+ 
+ {{{
+ Place your logging library jar (e.g. avalon-framework.jar) in JBoss' server/.../lib folder (where "..." is "all" or "default" or a custom configuration you use).
+ }}}
+ 
+ This places your logging library on the server classpath, where the copy of commons-logging used by JBoss can see it.  The downside to this is your logging library is no longer hot-deployable, so upgrading it will require a server restart.
