<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=492543401-05012007>I have a requirement
of having a logging API that can be used to abstract the underlying logging
implementations. Also this logging API can be used as a shared library, in the
sense that you can multiple wars sharing the same logging API (which is
placed at ear level or above). </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=492543401-05012007>I
am considering Commons Logging and Slf4J. I know Commons Logging can do
this "shared library", but then I have to deal with the various classloading
issues that come with it. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=492543401-05012007>Does Slf4J support
similar functionality, from what I have read so far it seems that slf4j
jars should always be placed along with logging impl jars (for e.g. log4j jars).
If I do try to place slf4j jars at a higher level, then I may run into
"interesting' issues when the ear file is deployed with multiple
levels.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=492543401-05012007>And has anybody
used Commons Logging 1.1, it claims to resolve the classloading issues that the
earlier version suffered from.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
