Yikes.  I'd change your classpath to be no more than a single period.  Set 
the classpath as needed in scripts.  That way, you won't force libraries 
that aren't needed or collide with other libraries on every app you run.

Just to be clear.  Are you running Tomcat or Websphere?  I can't tell you 
what the behavior in Websphere will be.  Tomcat should definitely work for 
logging, though.

BTW, what does your app consist of?  Does it use Struts or anything else 
requiring commons-logging?  That's the most evil invention to come out of 
the Apache project.  In my experience, it just messes up everything.  If 
this is an issue with commons-logging, you'll have to take it up with them.

BTW, I will be leaving for a mini vacation shortly, so someone else is 
probably going to have to take the reins on this one if you require more help.

good luck!
