From the javadoc for socketappender. " SocketAppenders do not use a layout." So if I want to send the same log events to a file and to chainsaw in an XML format using XMLLayout, how does one do this? Again my understanding is that SocketAppenders do not support layouts. What am I missing? First question, why _do_ you want to send the event to Chainsaw in XML layout?� Why not use 2 Appenders?� A File Appender with XMLLayout, and a SocketAppender.� They can both be attached to the same logger, and act independently. cheers, Paul
