The log4j-receivers module (close to release) actually contains a ListModelAppender that you can use to hold events. It's actually designed to display events for Swing GUI's, but since it's a general purpose model class, it can be used to hold events for anything.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4j/companions/receivers/ trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/varia/ListModelAppender.java

You could certainly grab that class standalone and use it for you purposes.

cheers,

Hi!

I've got a question regarding log4j and propagating errors in a program flow. I'm currently developing test case scripts using Rational Functional Tester which has a poor logging system and I've looked into using log4j
instead.

I can't find a way to make log4j propagate errors to a "higher instance". What I would like is for errors found in the "middle" of the program flow to
propagate to the last stage of the process.

An example flow where an error in a subscript propagates to end.

Script 1
 Subscript 1:1 OK!
 Subscript 1:2 ERROR!
 Subscript 1:3 OK!
Script 1 Finished with ERROR in Subscript 1:2.

Would it be good practice to use some kind of hierarchy in which the errors are sent to a special logger which in turn connects to the top- level-logger
and outputs at the end of the flow?

I'll appreciate any help or tips I can get in this matter!
