I googled with your error message and this is the first hit:

http://croarkin.blogspot.fi/2010/08/commons-logging-headaches-with-axis.html

It suggests using a commons-logging.properties file with:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log = org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger  
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory = org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl

or putting this to your code:

@BeforeClass  
public static void beforeClass() {  
 System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger");  
 System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl");  
}

Probably you've already tried this because it's the first hit with google but just in case...
