Hi: I have been trying to use the log4j features in my program, but I cannot get by this error. I am using JDK1.4, JBoss App server 2.2 and JBuilder5.0 on a Windows 2K platform. My program :
public class MessagePump { private static Category cat = Category.getInstance( MessagePump.class.getName( )); << snip >> public static void main(String[] args) { try { PropertyConfigurator.configure( args[0] ); cat.error("This is a test"); << snip >> } catch( Exception e ) { System.out.println( "Received an exception" + e.getMessage( )); } } } Gives me the following error and stack trace: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent.getThrowableStrRep()[Ljava/lang/String; at org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender.subAppend(WriterAppender.java:298) at org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender.append(WriterAppender.java:157) at org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton.doAppend(AppenderSkeleton.java:221) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.AppenderAttachableImpl.appendLoopOnAppenders(Append erAttachableImpl.java:56) at org.apache.log4j.Category.callAppenders(Category.java:258) at org.apache.log4j.Category.forcedLog(Category.java:454) at org.apache.log4j.Category.error(Category.java:367) at com.octavecomm.dvb.core.csm.messagepump.MessagePump.main(MessagePump.java:32 0) Exception in thread "main" Even though I get an exception, I do not enter my catch handler. I have used my own lcf file and one from the examples with the same results. This exception is coming from the cat.XXXX call. It can be an info, debug, etc.... with the same results. I can get the BasicConfigurator running, but I need more information in my logs. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
