Hi Ceki, Thanks. It was the problem with the Constructor signature.
Sorry about not specifying enough info. Yeah...I'm using log4j1.2.3 only.

Is MyAppender the fully qualified name of your appender? I suppose you are using log4j 1.2.3? Hope this is helpful, Ceki ps: It is always a good idea to privide information on the log4j version you are using, the JDK version, the compiler, the app server etc. At 21:45 27.05.2002 +0530, you wrote: >Hi, > >I'm new to Log4j.
