Description

Hi,

I am using SLF4J with LogBack and log4j-over-slf4j to print Log4J stuff with LogBack. I tried removing the log4j jar from my application that uses juddi-client, but then the service registration fails:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/helpers/Loader
at org.apache.juddi.v3.client.transport.wrapper.UDDISecurityService.secure(UDDISecurityService.java:63)

It would be nice if you would remove your hard dependency on log4j, so users are free to use any other logging framework they wish.

Using both logback and log4j at the same time is not desirable for me. Currently I've extracted the log4j class and put it in my own code as a stripped down version so juddi-client is happy and the logging is still done by logback.

Thanks and best regards,
subes
