The SocketAppender looks interesting but from the information I've dug up
(and you do a lot of digging with this product), you loose the use of the
layout which is a very nice feature.
I was contemplating, having a method call in the EJB's that does a
URLConnection and pass the message off to a Servlet which could handle
logging the message to a FileAppender. That way, I could retain the layout
and use the FileAppender.
Would this concept be a problem?

Hi John,
It has been mentioned several times
on this list that the FileAppender really
shouldn't be used for EJB development.
FileAppender isn't designed for
multiple processes writing to the
same file, and (as you have seen)
there are also security/access issues
with creating a file on disk.
I suggest using the SocketAppender,
JMSAppender, DatagramStringAppender
(see contribs dir), or write an appender
that forwards log messages to the
logging api that comes with your EJB engine.
Note that I haven't used log4j with EJBs myself .
Regards,
Simon
