Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.3 fails to start on Apache Geronimo 3.0

I believe that Geronimo uses Log4j for logging. Aside from configuring Log4j to be used by a Java web application that I wrote, I've never implemented a log manager before so I don't know much about loggers. I'll look into it. Thank you.

Either that or provide an XWiki log manager implementation for whatever log system Geronimo (i.e. convert https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/tree/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki… a Geronimo version) is using which would be even nicer ;) > Thank you. > > Naoufel > > -----Original Message----- > From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On > Behalf Of Thomas Mortagne > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 10:41 AM > To: XWiki Users > Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.3 fails to start on > Apache Geronimo 3.0 > > On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 4:20 PM, Naoufel Chbihi < > Naoufel.Chbihi(a)ssc-spc.gc.ca > > > > Thank you for the quick response. > > > > I have never posted a JIRA before and I'm new to Xwiki.
