I was able to get Chainsaw to load VFS files via smb, but...
I couldn't get the (current) WebStart version of Chainsaw to load the file (I
had to use the trunk versions of Chainsaw/VFSLogFilePatternReceiver).
I had to modify the vfs core and sandbox jars:
- build vfs trunk via mvn install (creates core and sandbox jars)
- jar xvf the vfs core jar
- jar xvf the vfs sandbox jar
- overwrite core/META-INF/providers.xml with the sandbox vfs-providers.xml (and
delete sandbox vfs-providers.xml)
- re-jar vfs core and vfs sandbox, and copy both to .chainsaw/plugins
I was then able to get the file to load successfully..

Subject: Re: ChainSaw - accessing a file on a VM
Thanks again. Nearly there! :-) To nail the coffin of this problem, I'd
appreciate receiving help re the following:
"file not available - will try again in 10 seconds" message is appearing
in the chainsaw-log.
Following is my configuration and I'll appreciate this final help (at least
re this issue for now!):
*chainsaw.xml:*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration >
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";
debug="true">

</appender>
<plugin name="VFSLogFilePatternReceiverWithUserInfoPrompt"
class="org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver">

<param name="tailing" value="true"/>
</plugin>
<root>

</root>
</log4j:configuration>
Following files in my *..\.chainsaw\plugins *directory:
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
commons-vfs-1.0.jar
jcifs-1.2.25b.jar
log4j-chainsaw-vfs.jar
also I have the
"Ok to remove SecurityManager" option ticked in "*Application-wide
Preferences*".
Thanks again,
Doost
