> getClassLoader can return null to imply the Boot Class Loader (per JDK 1.3 
> documentatio at least) however unfortunately commons logging is not coded to 
> support that.
> There are at least two places where this is a problem & commons logging dies w/ 
> a NullPointerException, one in a Hashtable (used as a key to factory) [HashMap 
> allows null key, Hashtable does not] and one other more directly.
> I modified the code to use the ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() when a null 
> was returned for Logger.getClassLoader() -- assuming ['cos I had no better 
> guess/choice] that System == Boot [since there was no getBootClassLoader.] This 
> appears to be working.
> I can send my modified code if interested.
