logging error (DiscoveryException for LogFactory implementation)

[Eric Fixler <fi...@smete.org>]

Hello.  I get the following error when trying to deploy Axis under ATG  
Dynamo:

**** Error      Fri Sep 20 00:40:41 PDT 2002    1032507641255   /

I looked at the docs and scanned throught the mailing list archives and  
it doesn't seem that you're necessarily obligated to configure logging.  
I did make a commons-logging.properties file and put it in the  
classpath.  It's a one-liner with this content:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog

Following a thread in the mailing list, I also extracted  
log4j.properties from axis.jar and put in a folder that's in the  
classpath, but that had no effect.

Any tips greatly appreciated...

thanks
eric
