Hello,
I am a newbie as far as web services and log4j are concerned. I want to write a web service appender using Axis and log4j. This appender should be able to call the web service. Here's what I have done:- 1) Created a service named MyService, using Axis, and deployed it successfully in tomcat. 2) Created a remote appender class MyAppender by extending AppenderSkeleton class. 3) Created a main class LogClass having loggers. 4) Created log4j.properties file so as to call MyAppender. While running the main class, it seems as if the append() method is being called multiple times, which in turn creates multiple org.apache.axis.client.Service objects and that leads to the following exception:- message =getBundle(org.apache.axis,org.apache.axis.i18n,resource,null,...) java.lang.NullPointerException message =loadBundle: Ignoring MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name org.apache.axis.resource, locale en_US java.lang.NullPointerException message =Created org.apache.axis.i18n.resource, linked to parent null java.lang.NullPointerException message =getBundle(org.apache.axis,org.apache.axis.i18n,resource,null,...) The program eventually terminates by throwing - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError Moreover, this web service is working absolutely fine when invoked from a class having just a main method. The above problem occurs when the same piece of code is moved inside a private method (executeWebService()) and the method is called from the append() method of the appender (MyAppender). Could anyone please point me to the problem with the appender (MyAppender)? My Queries:- 1) Has it anything to do with the lifecycle of append() method? If yes, could someone elaborate on its lifecycle? 2) If this is not the correct way of writing a web service appender using log4j (given that the service is deployed in tomcat), how can I do so correctly? Thanking you in anticipation. Regards, Sushil Duseja PS: All the files discussed are attached with the mail.
