Just upgraded spring to 1.2.8 from 1.2.6 didnt change anything else, but now I dont get errors in my error logs, everything worked fine before, and i still get the debug messages, and if i specifically put logger.error(..) in my code that works, but if my application throws and exception i dont get the error in my log. if i switch back the 1.2.6 spring jar it works fine..... Any ideas?
