Hi againScott, sorry to disturb you with this... I have added the appender in my Log4j config file and now it looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration PUBLIC "-//log4j/log4j Configuration//EN" "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="false"> <plugin name="XmlSocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketReceiver"> <param name="active" value="false"/> <param name="decoder" value="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLDecoder"/> <param name="name" value="NRTPXmlSocketReceiver" /> <param name="port" value="4445" /> </plugin> <appender name="RollingAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> <errorHandler class="org.apache.log4j.helpers.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/> <param name="File" value="/data/logs/chainsaw.log"/> <param name="Append" value="false"/> <param name="MaxFileSize" value="20000KB"/> <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="400"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d | %-5r | %-5p | %c | %t:%x | %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> When I start Chainsaw, the log file chainsaw.log file is created but once my application is sending messages and they get displayed in the log file nothing is saved :S Do I have to add anything else? The syntax is correct for the appender? I have followed Log4j conventions... 2009/3/26 Scott Deboy <[email protected]> > Correct - you can add appender definitions to the same Chainsaw > configuration file that contains the receiver definition, and the appenders > will process the events received by Chainsaw. > > Scott > > On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Moley Harey <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi Scott, > > > > 2009/3/26 Scott Deboy <[email protected]> > > > > > You can include in Chainsaw's configuration any appenders you'd like, > > which > > > will cause any events received by the receivers to be propagated to the > > > appenders automatically. > > > > > > How can I do that? > > What I am doing now is to launch Chainsaw and when I am prompted at the > > beginning that no receivers have been defined I select the option "Let me > > search for a configuration file" and then load my config file that > contains > > the following code to define my own XmlSocketReceiver: > > > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> > > <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration PUBLIC "-//log4j/log4j Configuration//EN" > > "log4j.dtd"> > > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; > > debug="false"> > > > > <plugin name="XmlSocketReceiver" > > class="org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketReceiver"> > > <param name="active" value="false"/> > > <param name="decoder" value="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLDecoder"/> > > <param name="name" value="NRTPXmlSocketReceiver" /> > > <param name="port" value="4445" /> > > </plugin> > > > > <root> > > <level value="debug"/> > > </root> > > </log4j:configuration> > > > > What you say is that is possible to define in that configuration file too > > one appender that redirects all messages that the XmlSocketReceiver is > > reading and the display is showing to a text log file in the same way is > > done usually in a log4j properties file with a RollingFileAppender for > > example? > > > > Or do I have to define this appender in a separate file and load it too > in > > Chainsaw? > > > > > > > > > > > You can also save logging events as XML in Chainsaw via the file menu > > > (note, > > > whatever events are displayed are saved, so you can apply filters if > > you'd > > > like to only save relevant messages). > > > > > > Scott > > > > > > On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 9:31 AM, Moley Harey <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > > > Hi again, > > > > > > > > I have done the following test and is working fine: > > > > > > > > 1.
