[Summary] Cactus 1.2 and Log4j

[Vincent Massol <vm...@octo.com>]

Some of you have had problems with Cactus 1.2 (and even some builds of
Cactus 1.3) and Log4j. When you were using Log4j 1.1.3, you were saying
CNF exceptions for Logger or Level ...

We now know the cause of this error. I was compiling Cactus on my
machine with log4j 1.2alphaX, and there was a bug in that version of
log4j. Here's a statement published by Ceki from the Log4j team :

"
There will be also unexpected interactions between log4j and the
commons-logging API. For example, log4j 1.2alpha1 through alpha4 had a
very subtle bug which caused client code compiled with log4j version
1.1.3 to throw exceptions when ran with log4j 1.2alpha. Inversely, code
compiled with 1.2alpha would crash when ran using log4j 1.1.3. This
problem was fixed in log4j beta.
"

Log4j 1.2alphaX is now history and all nightly builds (broken for the
moment but will be restored in 1 or 2 days) and releases will work fine
with log4j 1.1.3 and log4j 1.2.

Thank you.
