This is what the javadoc says:
The output of the XMLLayout consists of a series of log4j:event
elements as defined in the log4j.dtd. It does not output a complete
well-formed XML file. The output is designed to be included as an
external entity in a separate file to form a correct XML file.
For example, if abc is the name of the file where the XMLLayout ouput
goes, then a well-formed XML file would be:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:eventSet SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" [<!ENTITY data SYSTEM "abc">]>
<log4j:eventSet xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
&data;
</log4j:eventSet>
This approach enforces the independence of the XMLLayout and the
appender where it is embedded.
