log4j duplicate

[clinton]

Does Konakart really need two different log4j jars in it's lib/ dir?
Not sure if it's problematic, but this could cause clashes/conflicts.

In 2.2.0.7 there is :

log4j-1.2.8.jar
log4j-1.2.12.jar

It would be reassuring to developers to see only one jar. Or at least understand why there are two.

Cheers,

Hi Clinton,

I remember having some trouble when we didn't have these two present but I've had a brief look and I can't find the reason (it may be part of our Torque generation, which refers to log4j-1.2.8 but this is not required at runtime).  I also don't like having the duplicates so we'll ensure they aren't there in the next release.

BTW..  I'm pretty certain you can run KonaKart fine without the 1.2.8 version...  so just remove them from konakart and konakartadmin lib directories.

Thanks for your post,
Brian

Thanks Brian,
  I removed log4j-1.2.8.jar from our lib dir and redployed the konakart app - doesn't seem to have caused any problems, I'm still getting log messages as expected.

Hi Clinton,

Good.

Just to let you know;  yesterday we removed the log4j-1.2.8.jar completely (from our build environment and the kits we produce), so you won't see the duplicate in the next release.

Thanks,
Brian
