Struggling to get WebSphere Portal 5 to work with Jakarta Commons Logging? Hey! Me, too!

Well struggle no more, my brother.

Follow these instructions and find peace with yourself and with your portal. Then try and explain to me why people are so in love with little boxes on their screens.

    If I get this right you're saying that every WPS 5 portlet I write and that uses JCL has to extend the WpsStrutsPortlet class? Even if I do not use Struts at all? This is not acceptable for us since we need to extend other portlet classes.

    I have read IBM's "Integrating Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) with IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 releases" document (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27004610) but that does not seem to deal with WebSphere Portal Server. Option 2 in specific does not seem to work. WPS defaults to the StrutsLogFactory and requires the PortalStruts.jar in your web application's classpath (which we do not want).
