As promised, here is my Wednesday note. I have some modifications that allow the current Chainsaw to initiate connections to SocketHubAppenders. Because they are preliminary and "use at your own risk" I don't want to generally release them until I get more testing and feedback. BUT, if you are intrested in providing testing and feedback, drop me an email and I will send them to you.
The changes are for Chainsaw, not LF5. LF5 is next. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Womack > Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 9:46 AM > To: 'Log4J Users List' > Subject: RE: How are people using Chainsaw/LogFactor5? > > > Eric, > > Thanks for the offer.
