Hi all, I just wanted to say thanks for this from a non-J2EE expert (to put it mildly) who’s been about ready to kill someone (anyone!) trying to get JBoss and CFMX set up on my Mac. This commons-logging thing just about put me over the edge.

Tim’s tip worked for me with JBoss 4.0.5.GA and CFMX 7.0.2. I downloaded the 1.1 commons-logging file, renamed every commons-logging.jar I could find to commons-loggins.save, put the commons-logging-1.1.jar file into JBoss’s server/default/lib directory and renamed it to the original commons-logging.jar. At long last the blissful sight of the CF Admin page opening!

Thank you thank you.

Now we’ll see if I broke Flex Data Services in the meantime… It seems like there are some Flex gateway related errors as JBoss loads up….

So this is interesting.

We also found that by removing all commons-loggings and adding 1.1 everything was happy. Does 1.1 solve all of this mess?

very nice! Thank you!!

We owe you a beer! We’ve been fighting w/ JRun, ColdFusion and Spring for DAYS.

And we had to toast the orginial commons-logging file too like the previous poster.

Jayson, I’m glad you got it working, and it’s more evidence that this problem doesn’t have a one size fits all solution. I’m pleased that my post got you off on the right path, and if I’m in Seattle, then I’ll definitely be very lost and have to look you up.

Like the first comment, due to the different commons-logging versions between JBoss 4.0.5 and CF MX 7.02, having CF use JBoss’s libs caused problems.

For the problem “You have more than one version of â€˜org.apache.commons.logging.Logâ€™ visible”, I discovered that WEB-INF/cfform/jars/commons-logging.jar and WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/commons-logging-1.0.2.jar contained this class.

I moved WEB-INF/cfform/jars/commons-logging.jar to WEB-INF/cfform/jars/commons-logging.save and things began working.

Working config:
—————
Linux web1 2.6.18-gentoo-r2
JBoss 4.0.5
CF MX 7.0.2
Sun JDK 1.4.2.13

Good luck all – and thank you Steve for giving me confidence this was possible – I owe you twice now! If you ever find yourself in Seattle – look me up, I’ll take care of you!

did you make sure that the newer version of commons-logging had precedence in your class path? you should only get the error you are describing if cf is first seeing its version of commons-logging.

nice idea, but it doesn’t work in my case. commons-logging version 1.0.4 seems incompatible with cf, so war isn’t deployed :-( i’m using jboss4 defalt server and cf7.
