Hi Lance I think there are two ways of getting LF5 to view LoggingEvents sent over the wire. See Mark Womack's mail [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=102511373124806&w=2] for how Chainsaw and the Receiver framework can be used together. This is the log4j 1.3 way of doing things and is worth learning going forward.
The other way of getting this to work is based on the same principle of the SocketAppender/SimpleSocketServer combination as shown at [http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/lf5/examples.html] with a LF5 appender hanging off the SSS. To get this to work, you need to modify the SSS implementation otherwise you'll have two ServerSockets, each waiting for the other to connect. So I made a variant of the SSS that makes a connection to the SHA and everything works fine. The SSS-variant approach is probably not the most elegant (insofar as the the LF5 doesn't directly connect to the SHA) but it works after only a small amount of modification of code and is easy to control and configure Hope that helps Nigel -- Nigel Byrnes E-Commerce, Direct Line 0845 878 2922 Lance Birtcil <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'Log4J Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> et.com> cc: Subject: LogFactor5 and SocketHubAppender functionality 08/09/2003 20:22 Please respond to "Log4J Users List" Hi, Has anyone been successful in getting a SocketHubAppender type solution to work with LogFactor5 in the 1.2.8 release? I'm looking to be able to specify a port on my server that multiple LogFactor5 clients can connect to to receive logging events. From what I can tell, LF5 only works with SocketAppenders -- a pity since I have to create a separate SocketAppender for each machine on which I want to be able to view logging events. In reading posts in the mail archive, it seems that the new Receiver framework should allow the type of behavior that I'm looking for in LF5. However, I'm hoping that I don't have to wait for 1.3.x to get this working. How about it? Anyone gotten this to work in 1.2.8?
