Yes, I've a nasty habit of using XML tools on things like this :-) > > The XMLLayout class pointed out by Hakan, renders log events as xml > conforming to the log4j.dtd. .... I thought that was for the configuration file, not the output of the logger.

I don't know yet Andy, since I haven't come across a way of getting XML output from log4j. (and I'm having trouble parsing the above sentence! I can hack up tomcat pages, java tools, but that sounds like hard sums! http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/xml/XMLLayout.html Is that it? (Note that the link to the log4j.dtd is 404) How do I select XML output.... I'll go do some digging. Thanks Andy. regards DaveP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
