Take care if you are making significant changes to the code-base tomorrow
morning.

I'm working with Rich Scheuerle to integrate the Log4J --> Jakarta Commons
Logging API changes into AXIS.  This will cover all AXIS java packages.

I will update my code-tree in the morning, perform some final tests, and
expect to drop everything into CMVC by NOON tomorrow.

FYI, changes include the following:

1.  log4j.properties:  I renamed "A1" to "CONSOLE", and added a new
appender named "LOGFILE".  The CONSOLE appender will ignore logging below
the FATAL threshold (consistent with original use).  The LOGFILE appender
is not used by default.  If enabled, it captures INFO message or higher.
The properties file can now be easily modified to capture DEBUG messages
(change INFO to DEBUG) to a file without dumping EVERYTHING to the
console...

2.  attachments/MimeUtils.java: minor changes to comments that allowed
Rational Rose to reverse engineer this file...

3.  New file TestSrcContent.java.  This is a generic test tool that looks
for strings to "avoid" in the content of the source tree.  It is based on
TestMessages.java.  Currently it only checks for "org.apache.log4j" (which
covers imports or other references to the package or classes in the
package).  In the future we might consider adding "System.out.println" to
that...
