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
