Ok, now I see, it seems you are using a custom Appender called
translogfile
here is an example of how a custom appender would have a log4j.properties
file setup
Steps
1) Import required classes:
import org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;
2) Declare your class:
public class MyAppender extends AppenderSkeleton{
3) If you need extra parameters, declare them:
private String Text3;
private int Value1;
private int Value2;
4) Declare methods to manage your parameters:
public void setText3(String text3) {
Text3 = text3;
}
public String getText3() {
return Text3;
}
public void setValue1(int value1) {
Value1 = value1;
}
public int getValue1() {
return Value1;
}
5) You must declare this method:
public boolean requiresLayout() {
return false;
}
public void close() {
}
6) And the main method of your implementation:
protected void append(LoggingEvent event) {
String level=event.getLevel().toString();
String event.getMessage().toString();
}
The main method enables you to get the log (event.getMessage().toString())
and other data. With this data you can send the log to another application.
7) To use the log in your application, you can use this log4j.properties
sample:
log4j.appender.mylog=MyAppender
log4j.appender.mylog.Text2=text2
log4j.appender.mylog.Text3=text3
log4j.appender.mylog.Value1=1
log4j.appender.mylog.Value2=2
log4j.appender.mylog.Value3=3
log4j.rootCategory=info, mylog
Hope this helps.
-Kamal.
