No implementation defined for org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory

[Ali Khawaja <ak...@sbcglobal.net>]

I am building an applet that is consuming a webservice. I am doing this in
JBuilder. It creates all the sources from the wsdl, and creates and signs
the jar file, but when I try to execute the applet, I get the following
exception:

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

Caused by: org.apache.commons.discovery.DiscoveryException: No

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

 

I am not doing any logging. I believe this is getting added due to axis or
something else having dependency on the commons. I have not been able to
figure out how to fix it. The jar files that are available in my archive are
(in this order): commons-discovery.jar, log4j-1.2.8.jar, saaj.jar,
jaxrpc.jar, axis.jar, commons-logging.jar, wsdl4j.jar, axis.ant.jar.

 

In my applet constructor, I have also tried doing the following, using each
and every combination of the following statements:

 

            System.setProperty(LogFactory.FACTORY_DEFAULT,
"org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.class");
System.setProperty(LogFactory.FACTORY_PROPERTY,"org.apache.commons.logging.i
mpl.Log4JLogger.class"); 

 
System.setProperty("LOG_PROPERTY","org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogg
er.class");

 

If I remove commons*.jar from the required libraries, the build fails on the
ant task! Is there something in its ant task I can do (which was
automatically generated by JBuilder).

 

 

I am very badly stuck on this for days now and have not been able to figure
out what I am doing wrong. I'll really really appreciate any help. 

Thanks
