API, then you have a single place to configure and manage logging.
A common choice might be to bridge Spring to SLF4J, and then provide explicit binding
from SLF4J to Log4J. You need to supply 4 dependencies (and exclude the existing
`commons-logging`): the bridge, the SLF4J API, the binding to Log4J, and the Log4J
implementation itself. In Maven you would do that like this

NOTE: Log4j 1.x is EOL and the following applies to Log4j 2
Many people use http://logging.apache.org/log4j[Log4j] as a logging framework for
configuration and management purposes. It's efficient and well-established, and in fact
it's what we use at runtime when we build and test Spring. Spring also provides some
utilities for configuring and initializing Log4j, so it has an optional compile-time
dependency on Log4j in some modules.

===== Using Log4J 1.x
To make http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/[Log4j 1.x] work with the default JCL
dependency (`commons-logging`) all you need to do is put Log4j on the classpath, and
provide it with a configuration file (`log4j.properties` or `log4j.xml` in the root of
the classpath). So for Maven users this is your dependency declaration:
[source,xml,indent=0]

To be clear about this: the problems reported are usually not with JCL per se, or even
with `commons-logging`: rather they are to do with binding `commons-logging` to another
framework (often Log4J). This can fail because `commons-logging` changed the way they do

the runtime discovery in between the older versions (1.0) found in some containers and
the modern versions that most people use now (1.1). Spring does not use any unusual
parts of the JCL API, so nothing breaks there, but as soon as Spring or your application
tries to do any logging you can find that the bindings to Log4J are not working.

In such cases with WAS the easiest thing to do is to invert the class loader hierarchy
(IBM calls it "parent last") so that the application controls the JCL dependency, not
