Hello fellow loggers (is this the lumberjack list?), I have an application that MUST set the JVM's default TimeZone to GMT. However, I don't want to log events with this timezone. I need the log events to display the date/time in an arbitrary timezone. I cannot see any easy way to set the timezone on the PatternLayout, etc. Looking through the code, I see there used to be some sort of TimeZone setting option on the PatternLayout, but the code has been commented out. The only solution I can find is to extend PatternLayout and override the createPatternParser method. I will also need to extend PatternParser and override the finalizeConverter method so that I can create a DateFormat class which has its own timezone. This solution seems a little messy, and please let me know if there would be a better way to implement this, but it would be much easier to create a patch to the log4j core which allows for a timezone to be specified as part of a ConversionPattern or Layout. BTW, I am using 1.1.3. Thanks in advance, Ross __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
