How to configure log4j to generate XMLLayout compatible output.
Hi, I am playing around with chainsaw and it does not look like it recognizes my log file. I understand that chainsaw expects XMLLayout compatible output file for it to be able to parse it. How do you do that? Thanks a lot. Robert Btw: I am using version which comes with ver 1.2.8 of log4j. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Newbie/Dummy Question on XMLLayout and log4j
Hi, I am trying to use XMLLayout class to format my logs from log4j and my question is in the complete manual it states that ... if abc.log is the name of the file where the XMLLayout results go, then the following file includes it as an external entity: Is this a dtd that should be used instead of lo4j.dtd? If so where do I tell my application that it should look at this dtd instead of log4j.dtd. Also, I need to output some parameter from the classes that call the logger can I do this without rendering the objects that hold those parameters?

RE: chainsaw not reading XMLLayout log file
I solved this problem. It appears that chainsaw is expecting logger in place of
category in the XMLLayout output file. By modifying XMLFileHandler like so, I was
able to get it to work correctly.
@@ -115,6 +115,9 @@
mThreadName = aAtts.getValue(thread);
mTimeStamp = Long.parseLong(aAtts.getValue(timestamp));
mCategoryName = aAtts.getValue(logger);
+if (mCategoryName == null) {

+}
mPriority = Priority.toPriority(aAtts.getValue(level));
} else if (TAG_LOCATION_INFO.equals(aQName)) {
mLocationDetails = aAtts.getValue(class) + .
We're still using category instead of logger in our code, even though it's deprecated
(there are a fair number of areas to be changed. Should Chainsaw be modified to work
both ways? )

XMLLayout/Chainsaw
Hi, I'm trying to open a log file via Chainsaw which has been written to via the XMLLayout Appender As per the Javadoc, I have created an xml file with the following entries ?xml version=1.0 ? !DOCTYPE log4j:eventSet SYSTEM log4j.dtd [!ENTITY data SYSTEM server.log] log4j:eventSet version=1.2 xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/; data; /log4j:eventSet If I attempt to open this with Chainsaw I get a Error parsing file - null message dialog. If I use IE5 I get Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'log4j'. Line 4, Position 1 log4j:eventSet xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4; ^ and a blank screen with Netscape 7.0 If I copy the contents of server.log between the log4j:eventSet tags and remove the SYSTEM entry I can get Netscape 7.0 to resolve this quite happily but not IE5 or Chainsaw. I am using xerces 1.4.3 as an XML parser in conjunction with Chainsaw I have seen an archived entry http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/8359/2002/5/300/8565707/ where it mentions that pasting the log file contents in, works with IE6. I'm not totally sure that my Chainsaw problem is connected but it appears highly likely. Can anyone shed some light on what is happening?

AW: Bug in XMLLayout
Hi, The issue i am facing is that the log4j.dtd defines the event as follows: !ATTLIST log4j:event category CDATA #REQUIRED priority CDATA #REQUIRED thread CDATA #REQUIRED timestamp CDATA #REQUIRED Note that the dtd uses priority while the XMLLayout uses level(for severity levels like DEBUG, WARN etc). How can i fix it? What log4j version do you use ? I think this has been fixed in a recent log4j version ( = 1.2.4). Now it uses level and logger consistently.

Re: XMLLayout and well formatted XML documents
The source code for the XMLFileAppener is included with the distribution. You could edit it I guess this file and rename it or something (WellFormedXMLFileAppender?) - shouldn't be too hard. sam Krishnamurthy, Balaji (MED) Wrote: Hi folks, I started using log4j recently and have started liking it. I needed a xml based log output format. So I used org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout RollingFileAppender and found that it is quite good. However it does not generate well formed xml documents. There is no root tag and hence the parsers throw error while parsing. Can somebody point me to an XMLFileAppender if it exists or any better solution to get a well fomed xml document ?

Re: XMLLayout and well formatted XML documents
This is what the javadoc says: The output of the XMLLayout consists of a series of log4j:event elements as defined in the log4j.dtd. It does not output a complete well-formed XML file. The output is designed to be included as an external entity in a separate file to form a correct XML file. For example, if abc is the name of the file where the XMLLayout ouput goes, then a well-formed XML file would be: ?xml version=1.0 ? !DOCTYPE log4j:eventSet SYSTEM log4j.dtd [!ENTITY data SYSTEM abc] log4j:eventSet xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/; data; /log4j:eventSet This approach enforces the independence of the XMLLayout and the appender where it is embedded.
