    Javassist class loader vs. Apache Commons logging

      Hi all,

      I want to instrument an application that uses the Apache Commons logging component. I use the Javassist class loader and have added my own translator. However, the logging library seems to rely on the class loader hierarchy; the application crashes with the attached exception.

      Do you have any experience combining Javassist and the Apache Commons logging component?

      Regards,
      Michael
