Chainsaw and log4cxx's XMLSocketAppender work together so I've heard. log4cxx's SocketAppender has used an incompatible wire format which is not compatible with log4j's logging event serialization. There has been a long outstanding bug to make the wire formats compatible but no effort has been applied to that problem.

The immediately preceding message talked on the compatibility issue. I'd search the archives for XMLSocketAppender, Chainsaw or both and you should find a decent number of messages.

I've started looking into the log4j tool Chainsaw and was wondering if
anyone else has attempted using it with log4cxx. Any luck?

Any comments would be appreciated,
