Hi,
Does log4cxx support print out Chinese chars (GB and BIG5)?
If it does, what should I do to enable it?
Thanks,
Tao
The subversion head provides both char* and wchar_t* versions of the
logging request methods. In both cases, the arguments are converted
to a single Unicode representation in the internals where char* is
interpreted as being in the default character encoding of the
platform. FileAppender and related appenders provide an encoding
attribute that can be used to specify the target encoding for the log
files. If your default character encoding for your platform is
UTF-8, then you likely do not need to do anything to support Chinese
or any other language. If your default encoding is not UTF-8, then
you would need to use the wchar_t* versions of the logging request
methods and specify an encoding that can represent your expected
characters (for example, UTF-8 or UTF-16).
For more specific guidance, it would be helpful to know:
1. Your platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc)
2. Your default encoding ("locale charmap" on most Unix).
3. Whether you are wanting to use the char* or wchar_t* logging methods.
4. Any specific problems that you are having.
5. What file encoding would you like to use
