Hello,

Good catches!  That was a little bit embarrassing to say the least.

Unfortunately, I still get the standard response on my console:

11:09:20.731 [main] INFO  logtest.LogTest - hello world


Also, I'm including two screen shots with this email.  The first is a 
shot of the corrected xml code.  The second is a list of what's in my 
library for this project.  Maybe there's something there/not there that 
I can correct?.?.
