[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-518) Deploying Struts app fails on Logging ClassCastException

["Aaron Mulder (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-518:
---------------------------------------

After talking to Dain, it sounds like this problem will be solved when we drop commons logging.

(root cause, the WAR is loading libs from its classpath first and the default Geronimo log factory implements the commons logging interface from the system classpath not the commons logging interface from the commons logging JAR in WEB-INF/lib)

> Deploying a web app based on Struts results in the ClassCastException in commons logging displayed below.  The web app includes a version of commons-logging in its WEB-INF/lib.  The same web app can be successfully deployed in Tomcat 5.0.25 with no problems.
