Re: getting commons logging to work - Thanks!

[John C Cartwright <Jo...@noaa.gov>]

Thanks to All! It now seems to be working, although I still need to do 
some log4j tuning.  File permission problems were at least part of the 
issue.

What is the general consensus on where a Struts web application should 
keep it's log files?

Thanks again!
