Problems with LogFactory !!!, urgent Help needed...

[Yannick Naudet <ya...@eglutek.com>]

Hello all,

I need urgent Help!!!

I have the following error and after 4 hours of debugging, i did not manage to find a way to avoid it:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

 ... 6 more

Here is the context:

I use Axis through the SimpleAxisServer class.
Because of my application specific packaging, i need to load each jar that is needed by Axis in a specific classLoader.
All seems to be right: all the jars are correctly managed by the classLoader, and the class that i use to make my application "communicate" with Axis classes is loaded by the same classLoader.
BUT, each time an Axis class which use a logger is used, the application breaks with the above error.
This appends at the following code line and seems to be due to the log discovery system: protected static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(AdminClient.class.getName());

If anyone knows or has an idea on how to cope with that, i would be very happy :)

Thanks.
