Does rampart use SLF4J? If so, is this documented somewhere?

I then copied the latest slf4j slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar into the apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\lib folder.  With the commons-logging.properties entry and the log4j.properties files I thought that log4j was being used as the logging framework.
