What I had done is to set logging to OFF  it turned of my internal 
code's logging but did not touch the commons logging..

My conclusion was that it was not seeing the config file..

I then moved a copy to the /WEB-INF/classses

I then also turn off the logging in that file..

..no joy.. (and the pattern is different..)

My pattern

6450 [http-8080-Processor3](BaseServiceBean.java:240) DEBUG - 
BaseServiceBean - getPath: IndexPath

the commons logging pattern

2008-06-02 17:58:20,901 DEBUG [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax] 
- endElement(,,web-app)

..with the date and time..

I searched carefully the entire classpath (JBuilder has a view that 
shows you the entire classpath used on startup) and I did find A general 
logging.properties file in the:

Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/logging.properties

.. with the following settings..

#==========================================
# Default global logging level.
.level= INFO

# default file output is in user's home directory.
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = %h/java%u.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter

# Limit the message that are printed on the console to INFO and above.
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = 
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
#============================================


.. which does not seem to be in effect with commons because I'm seeing 
DEBUG output..

The only other "properties" files I could find in that path had no 
mention of logging in general or log4j in particular..

(I also used "SpotLight" which searched the entire hard drive and only 
found what I expected to find and where I expected to find it..)

Thanks I will review that...

I wish you where right... so far I have not been able to find such a file..

That worked..  But you are right not a good solution..  Is there 
something else I could put in that file that would allow only ERROR 
messages to come through..?

Thanks for your patience and assistance..

John...
