RE: Log4j JDBCAppender

I've done something similar, except I use an ArrayList to keep an ordered list of insert values to fill in the ? for the prepared statement. I store the actual SQL string in the database as well, and pull it out at initialization. I may begin storing all the init properties in the database, and

RE: Layout problem with JDBCAppender

The main issue is that there is no layout object. You need to make sure that getLogStatement has a valid layout. If the layout is null you need to create a new layout object. I do this in my setSql statement, although you could put it inside getLayout() and hide the logic: if (getLayout() ==

RE: JDBCAppender problem

The parameters follow the JavaBean specification, so any parameter in JDBCAppender blah will follow setBlah, getBlah. Log4J can't find the setUsername(String u) method, for instance. St

Re: JDBCAppender problem

Modify JDBCAppender and print out the driver name. Check to see what it's initializing as. Also, make sure the driver is in your classpath. Steve

RE: getClassName from locationInfo object

okay, I'll look at those other appenders and see what they extend, etc. Thanks! St "Klein, Scott @

RE: getClassName from locationInfo object

Okay, sounds good. Is "locationInfo" a field in log4j somewhere? The JDBCAppender extends the AppenderSkeleton class, which doesn't seem to have a locationInfo method. I can add the field, but how does log4j pick that up? Is the JMX smart enough to do that? Thanks, Steve

RE: getClassName from locationInfo object

Well, I'm extending the JDBCAppender to use its own thread, and to use a prepared statement, so I have my own columns for classname, etc. I'm using (in development) Win 2000 and WebLogic 6.1. I'm going to try to put some log4j calls in actual classes (not JSPs) and see if it can pick it up. W

getClassName from locationInfo object

I'm using log4j within my JSPs, and I'd like to log the class name, etc in my message, but all I get for the class name is ?. Is this some limitations on JSPs, or is there something I'm missing? I looked through the archive to see if there was anything similar, but I didn't find anything. THank

Ah ha! Yes, I can't believe I forgot about that. Thanks a mil. Steve Ceki Gülcü

Re: Building log4j

This is what I have. I'm getting a different error now. I've tried it with both 1.1 and 1. 0 and neither seem to work. Is there a trick I'm missing? build.jmx: [javac] Compiling 7 source files to C: \javatools\jakarta-log4j-1.2.2\dist\cl asses [javac] C: \javatools\jakarta-log4j-1.2.2

Re: Building log4j

Okay, I'll look for that. Thank you. It makes sense now that I think about it, I just couldn't figure out which jmx classes I needed : Steve
