Re: [gentoo-java] log4j -> juli

["William L. Thomson Jr." <wlt@obsidian-studios.com>]

I am looking into if there were any changes with log4j between 1.2.12
and 1.2.13. The official Tomcat binary is compiled with 1.2.12, and we
are compiling against 1.2.13.

I am not even sure Tomcat is using it at all during compile, and has
little to no need for it at runtime. Aside from custom apps. There could
be a possibility of custom log4j apps needing to be ported from 1.2.12
to 1.2.13. I am trying to hunt down a change log or etc to find out what
changed or etc.

Another possibility. With Tomcat's classpath loader and all, and use of
JULI now. It might be possible Tomcat is finding part of what it's
looking at further up the chain like in the bootstrap classpath. Since
it's finding part, it's running with that there, instead of looking for
the rest or another similar version further down the classpath chain.

Really no clue, really weird, and I am looking into. I did research
extensively in the past with upstream as to what could cause the problem
and a possible solution. However previous problem was more on the lines
of crashing from memory, than from cnfe.
