It is hard to classify something a "bug" when it is working  
"corectly".  The portlet spec requires that a portal container be a  
webapp and that it be able to deploy and control portlets in the  
manner in which Pluto is doing it. That could hardly be considered a  
bug.

Think about it this way. The end user sees a page with multiple  
widgets on it. The end user can interact with any of them. All pluto  
wants is that the logging that occurs work the same no matter which  
portlet the end user interacts with. That doesn't seem too  
unreasonable to me.

What your answer basically says is, commons logging only supports the  
servlet spec, not the portlet spec. I guess this falls in line with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGGING-124? 
  Out of curiosity, if commons-logging doesn't work in an OSGi  
container then how can any commons components do logging there?
