 </pre>
 to system error and then continue using a standard Hashtable.
 <p>
 <strong>Usage:</strong> Set this property when Java is invoked
 and <code>LogFactory</code> will attempt to load a new instance
 of the given implementation class.
 For example, running the following ant scriplet:
 <pre>
  &lt;java classname="${test.runner}" fork="yes" failonerror="${test.failonerror}"&gt;
     ...
     &lt;sysproperty

  &lt;/java&gt;

 will mean that <code>LogFactory</code> will load an instance of
 <code>org.apache.commons.logging.AltHashtable</code>.
 <p>
 A typical use case is to allow a custom

 Theoretically, calling getClassLoader can throw a security exception,
 and so should be done under an AccessController in order to provide
 maximum flexibility. However in practice people don't appear to use
 security policies that forbid getClassLoader calls. So for the moment
 all code is written to call this method rather than Class.getClassLoader,
 so that we could put AccessController stuff in this method without any
 disruption later if we need to.
 <p>
 Even when using an AccessController, however, this method can still
 throw SecurityException. Commons-logging basically relies on the
 ability to access classloaders, ie a policy that forbids all
 classloader access will also prevent commons-logging from working:
 currently this method will throw an exception preventing the entire app
 from starting up. Maybe it would be good to detect this situation and
 just disable all commons-logging? Not high priority though - as stated
 above, security policies that prevent classloader access aren't common.
 <p>
 Note that returning an object fetched via an AccessController would
 technically be a security flaw anyway; untrusted code that has access
 to a trusted JCL library could use it to fetch the classloader for
 a class even when forbidden to do so directly.</div>

 Note that there can be problems if the specified ClassLoader is not the

 concrete LogFactory subclass via a context classloader.
 <p>
 The problem is the same one that can occur when loading a concrete Log
 subclass via a context classloader.
 <p>
 The problem occurs when code running in the context classloader calls
 class X which was loaded via a parent classloader, and class X then calls
 LogFactory.getFactory (either directly or via LogFactory.getLog). Because
 class X was loaded via the parent, it binds to LogFactory loaded via
 the parent. When the code in this method finds some LogFactoryYYYY
 class in the child (context) classloader, and there also happens to be a
 LogFactory class defined in the child classloader, then LogFactoryYYYY
 will be bound to LogFactory@childloader. It cannot be cast to
 LogFactory@parentloader, ie this method cannot return the object as
 the desired type. Note that it doesn't matter if the LogFactory class
 in the child classloader is identical to the LogFactory class in the
 parent classloader, they are not compatible.
 <p>
 The solution taken here is to simply print out an error message when
 this occurs then throw an exception. The deployer of the application
 must ensure they remove all occurrences of the LogFactory class from
 the child classloader in order to resolve the issue. Note that they
 do not have to move the custom LogFactory subclass; that is ok as
 long as the only LogFactory class it can find to bind to is in the
 parent classloader.</div>
