Description

Using the log4j-core.jar supplied with the Binary install of Cactus 2.2 I
receive the following error when executing the Sample application task of
"tests_tomcat_32". The specific exception occurs in the "tests" task.

I can only assume that it has to do with invoking the static method
getInstance(String) of the Log4j's Category class.

Interestingly, when I hypothesized that maybe the log4j-core.jar was corrupt
somehow and replaced it with the current log4j-core.jar (1.1.3) I received a the
exception "NoClassDefFoundError" as it looks for org.apache.log4j.Logger in the
org.apache.commons.cactus.util.log.LogService.getLog(String). I then downloaded
the Cactus source and cannot even find a reference to a class named "Logger" in
the LogService class. Also, the log4j-core.jar supplied with the Binary install
does in fact have a org.apache.log4j.Logger class file.

Something is REALLY messed up in either the sample application, the
log4j-core.jar that it uses or in the way Cactus uses Log4J.
