How to use commons.logging in weblogic (8.1)?

Question

Greetings,
I'm trying to use commons.logging framework to manage the logs of my
application. With Weblogic I will use an implementation that works with
weblogic.logging package but with other J2EE products I'll use another
native log implementations or frameworks (for instance, for jboss I will
use log4j).
1) I created a class WeblogicLogger which implements the Log interface::
public final class WeblogicLogger implements Log {
I packaged this class in a jar file with a properties file,
commons-logging.properties, which has the property setting my class
below has the default logger:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=pt.ptinovacao.weblogic.logging.WeblogicLogger
2) My sample code has the following code:
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(
LogTimeStartHandler.class.getName());
something(){
log.info(this.getClass()+" test log");
3) I added the commons-logging jars and my jar with my custom wrapper
weblogic logger in ${WL_HOME}/common/bin/commEnv.sh:
WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=
(...)${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogiclogger.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging-api.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging.jar
However, my loggings still not appear in my weblogic server. Did I miss
something?
thanks,

Did you manage to get this working?
If yes ... what did you do?
I am having the same problem implementing commons-logging with log4j
