Hi Wea,
Our product has code to dynamically add a console appender, but it is not
currently in use. As such, I can't say for
sure whether it works or not.
===========
static const LogString DateTimeThreadLevelClassMessagePattern
(LOG4CXX_STR("%d{dd/MM HH:mm:ss.SSS}
%-5p %c - %m%n"));
LogString lsPattern = DateTimeThreadLevelClassMessagePattern;
if (!overridePattern.IsEmpty())
{
lsPattern = GetLogString(overridePattern);
}
LoggerPtr root = Logger::getRootLogger();
LayoutPtr layout(new PatternLayout(lsPattern));
AppenderPtr appender(new ConsoleAppender(layout));
root->addAppender(appender);
==========
Code to remove a named appender is also untested and I don't know off-hand if
this works for "stdout".
GetLogString is our function which takes our own String class and creates a
LogString
=====
LogString strAppenderName = GetLogString(appenderName);
LoggerPtr root = Logger::getRootLogger();
root->removeAppender(strAppenderName);
return true;
=====
Hope this helps,
Andy
