a default implementation, which is described further below. If a commons-logging.properties file is found, all of the properties defined there are also used to set configuration attributes on the instantiated LogFactory instance. Once an implementation class name is selected, the corresponding class is loaded from the current Thread context class loader (if there is one), or from the class loader that loaded the LogFactory class itself otherwise. This allows a copy of commons-logging.jar to be shared...
