Description

After moving from struts1.0 to struts1.1 I got the same error message as in the
above mailing list discussion thread.

Couldn't the error message contain the names of the two jar files?
Even better if it hinted on what to do or provided a link to an explanation page!

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/userguide.html#Configuring%20the%20Logger%20Implementation
didn't really provide any help?

So shall I remove the
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 218864 Dec 2 15:37 WEB-INF/lib/log4j.jar
or the
rw-rr- 1 root root 31605 Dec 2 16:05
WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging.jar

Since all went well with log4j so far and the file is bigger, I am inclined to
dump commons-logging.jar.
On the other hand, since I am a new user of commons-dbcp-1.1.jar, that one may
rely on its own logger - so perhaps I will run into trouble due to that?
Anyway, help would be highly appreciated!
