It would be great to see someone else use LogPanel, but it's pretty tied to the
other pieces of Chainsaw, which would make it difficult to use in a different
app. If you're interested in refactoring the code, we gladly accept patches.
You can avoid the use of a socket by using listmodelappender or listappender
(both in org.apache.log4j.varia). Add the appender programmatically to the
logger hierarchy, create the necessary renderer and you're on your way.

Subject: Sending logs to a LogPanel
Hi,
Excuse me for this probably basic question, but I can't any valuable
information, probably because of the API changes.
I have a Swing-based application with this method :
private static void initLog4J() {
final Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("log4j.rootCategory", "DEBUG, CONSOLE");
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.CONSOLE",
"org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender");
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout","org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout")
;
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
}
When debugging, this outputs the logs on my Eclipse console. Fine.
Now, I'd like to redirect these logs to my application's GUI.
As a try, I've evaluated Chainsaw, which is beautifully designed ;-)
private static void initLog4J() {
final Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("log4j.rootCategory", "DEBUG, chainsaw");
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.chainsaw",
"org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender");
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.chainsaw.RemoteHost", "localhost");
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.chainsaw.Port","4445");
props.setProperty("org.apache.log4j.spi.location","true");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
}
No problem. It's exactly what I want.
Now, I'd like to have a chainsaw-like GUI in my app.
Unfortunately, in version 1.2.13, MyTableModel is package protected so
that I can't se it without rewriting it.
Thus, I've switched to version 1.3-alpha6 where there is a nicely
designed LogPanel.
Now, the question is : how to send the logs to my LogPanel instance ?
Cheers,
p.b.
