Re: [Webwork-devel] Update Webwork to use Log4j 1.2

[Mike Cannon-B. <mi...@at...>]

Please do NOT update Webwork as below ;)

Use log4j 1.2 by all means, but by changing Category to Logger etc you stop
anyone using WebWork with old log4j versions. Log4j 1.2 is backward
compatible with previous releases of log4j only if you leave the Category
and Priority stuff in there.

For example this would break JIRA as other open source components we use are
based on previous versions of log4j. I imagine there are a lot of other
users in this boat too.

Cheers,
Mike
