Error in initializing org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory.

[Somdutta]

Hi,

I am using esapi-2.5.0.0.jar for my project. I have set ESAPI.Logger=org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory in my ESAPI.properties file. However, I am getting the error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory".

Could you please advice.

Thanks,
Somdutta.
