I am new to log4j and am trying to set up a simple example using JMSAppenders. I have created the appropriate jndi objects and my "Server" has no problem resolving these objects. However, when I go to run my app that uses the JMSAppender I get an exception (included at bottom). Here is the config file I use to set up my JMSAppender: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender log4j.appender.A1.TopicBindingName=cn=myTopicBN log4j.appender.A1.TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName=cn=myTCFBN Why is log4j throwing this exception when Server seems to have no problem resolving "myTCFBN". Thanks for the help. log4j:ERROR Could not find name [cn=myTCFBN]. log4j:ERROR Error while activating options for appender named [A1]. javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: cn=myTCFBN at com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContext.getObjectFromBindings(RefFSContext.java:400) at com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContext.lookupObject(RefFSContext.java:327) at com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContext.lookup(RefFSContext.java:146) at com.sun.jndi.fscontext.FSContext.lookup(FSContext.java:127) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:350) at org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender.lookup(JMSAppender.java:52) at org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender.activateOptions(JMSAppender.java:65) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configureOptionHandler(PropertyConfigurator.java:451) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.parseAppender(PropertyConfigurator.java:585) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.parseCategory(PropertyConfigurator.java:555) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configureRootCategory(PropertyConfigurator.java:462) -- Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
