Hi folks, I have configured my Chainsaw installation following the steps proposed for that:
1. I installed the signed jars that Scott proposed me from log4j site. 2. In my JNLP file I added those files and I did another JNLP file for the other non signed jars (commons-codec-1.3.jar, commons-httpclient-3.1.jar, commons-logging-1.1.1.jar), and included this JNLP file in the previous one. When I launch Chainsaw using the main JNLP file it launches well, MySocketReceiver is there too, here is my Chainsaw config file: <?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="SocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver"> <param name="active" value="false"/> <param name="name" value="MySocketReceiver" /> <param name="port" value="4445" /> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> <logger name="org.apache.log4j"> <level value="off"/> </logger> </log4j:configuration> In Chainsaw log display I see the following message at the end: Level INFO Logger org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.messages.MessageCenter Time 2009-09-08 16:59:56,328 Thread Thread-21 Message SocketReceiver started! NDC null Class org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.LogUI$30 Method pluginStarted Line 1091 File LogUI.java So I assumed the application was launched OK and in my remote machine port 4445 (which is the one used to connect) would be open. To test that, I have implemented a Java class in my remote machine that sends log4j messages to "MySocketReceiver". This is the log4j file that is used in this test class: # Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to ConsoleAppender. log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,stdout,A1 # ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout # Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number. log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d | %-5r | %-5p | %c | %t:%x | %m%n # A1 is set to be a SocketAppender sending its output to the server running on the remote host, port 4445 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender log4j.appender.A1.Port=4445 log4j.appender.A1.RemoteHost=localhost I have run the application but no messages are displayed into Chainsaw. I have checked that if I launch it as stanalone in the remote machine my test can send correctly messages but if I launch it remotely using Java Web Start it can't. Maybe I am wrong, but is it possible to do this? Thanks in advance, Mh
