>From the PropertyConfigurator javadoc: "You can customize the way message objects of a given type are converted to String before being logged. This is done by specifying an ObjectRenderer for the object type would like to customize. The syntax is:
log4j.renderer.fully.qualified.name.of.rendered.class=fully.qualified.name.o f.rendering.class As in, log4j.renderer.my.Fruit=my.FruitRenderer" This means that for your ResultObject class you need to write a ResultObjectRenderer class implemeting the org.apache.log4j.or.ObjectRenderer interface, and register the renderer in the config file in order for Log4j to recognize it, e.g: log4j.renderer.com.core.client.ResultObject=com.core.client.ResultObjectRend erer. This will instruct Log4j to use an instance of ResultObjectRenderer to stringify ResultObject instances instead of using the default toString() method. Note that ResultObjectRenderer must have a public default constructor. Hope this helps. -- Thomas | -----Original Message----- | From: write2vishu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: 01 January 1601 00:00 | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: log4j ObjectRenderer. | | | Hi, | | I am working on log4j for some project. | Currently in the project,the outgoing and incoming messages are logged | as Strings via 'resultObject.toString()'.This doesn't allow the use of | Log4J Object Renderers.I want to log the message as | 'resultObject' Object itself so that | ObjectRenderers can be used to format the output as required. | I have done the following changes in the java file. | Note :- This is a patch of java code specific to log4j from the source | code. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------// File : example.java | package com.core.client; | | //Following package i have imported for log4j. | import org.apache.log4j.Category; | import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator; | import org.apache.log4j.or.RendererMap; | import org.apache.log4j.or.ObjectRenderer; | | | private static Category log = Category.getInstance(example.class); | | //Changed the log.debug( resultObject.toString() ) statements to | log.debug(resultObject); | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------Do i need to make any more changes in the java file | to use Object | Renderer ? | I found in the log4j document that we need to make following entry in | the log4j.properties file :- | log4j.renderer.my.package.name.MyClassToLog=my.otherpackage.name.M | yRendererClass | But i couldn't understand what should be 'my.package.name.MyClassToLog' | and 'my.otherpackage.name.MyRendererClass' for the above given java file? | Any help on this will be appreciated. | | Thanks & Regards, | Vishweshwar. | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | ************************************************************************* Copyright ERA Technology Ltd. 2003.
