Answer 1

Include the slf4j-api in your dependencies:

  org.slf4j
  slf4j-api
  1.5.8

Exclude the commons-logging dependency for minimum one of your declared spring dependencies and provide the slf4j facade for commons-logging:

  org.springframework
  spring-context
  3.0.2.RELEASE
  
     
       commons-logging
       commons-logging
     
  


  org.slf4j
  jcl-over-slf4j
  1.5.8
  runtime

Include the log4j dependency for your logging together with the slf4j facade:

  org.slf4j
  slf4j-log4j12
  1.5.8
  runtime


  log4j
  log4j
  1.2.14
  runtime

A great blog post for further reading about logging with SLF4J and Spring can be found in the SpringSource Team blog under http://blog.springsource.com/2009/12/04/logging-dependencies-in-spring/.
