Description

I have the taglib imported thus:

<%@ taglib uri="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/tld/log" prefix="log" %>

and then tried to use setLogger as follows:

<log:setLogger value="com.example.jsp.errors" />

but this results in the following:

Exception caught in jsp
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/pages/orderform/error.jsp(13,0) Unable to find setter method for attribute: value
... etc.

Had a quick nose around and the value attribute is marked as required in the tld, but the SetLoggerTag class doesn't have a setValue(...) method...

From what I saw, wondered if in fact the value attribute is meant to have gone away and one should be using the logger attribute which is there in the class, but has no mention in the tld.
