[SOLVED] common logging jar conflict with apache axis soap client

common logging jar conflict with apache axis soap client

I am getting this exception while trying to call SOAP webservice using axis. basically I have written a axis client.

org.apache.commons.discovery.DiscoveryException: Class org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLogFactory does not implement org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.

When I remove the all the common-logging jars, I would able to remove these errors but these jars are coming from other apis, i dont have control on them.

Is there any way to overcome this problem?
