Commons logging exceptions with Tomcat -security

["Lawlor, Frank" <Fr...@AthensGroup.com>]

Sorry to bother you guys in the developers list,
but I got no response on this in the struts-users list:

I've been pulling down some of the nighly struts builds which require
use of the common-*.jars.  I'm running on tomcat 4.0.2.

I just put the commons jars in the WEB-INF\lib directory of
my web app and this seems to work fine until I run tomcat with 
security (startup -security).  
Then I get null pointers trying to access the log
(see details below).

I tried putting the commons jars in tomcat's common\lib,
but I get the same results.  Where should they go?
Where does the struts.jar go then?  I tried a lot of 
locations and nothing seems to work when I add 
- security to the tomcat invocation.

Thanks,

On the console:
