AsyncAppender not working

[Moshe Matitya]

I have been unable to get the AsyncAppender to work.  For every appender
that is added to the AsyncAppender, the following error message appears:

    No appender named [<name>] could be found.

And not surprisingly, no logging happens.

I whittled this down to a simple example using an AsyncAppender with two
attached appenders.  Here is the config file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

    <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'
            debug="true">

        <appender name="CONSOLE"
                class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
            <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
                <param name="ConversionPattern"
                        value="%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n" />
            </layout>
        </appender>

        <appender name="FILE"
                class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
            <param name="File" value="Sample.log" />
            <param name="Append" value="false" />
            <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
                <param name="ConversionPattern"
                        value="%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n" />
            </layout>
        </appender>

        <appender name="ASYNC"
                class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender">
            <param name="LocationInfo" value="true" />
            <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
            <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
        </appender>

        <root>
            <level value="debug" />
            <appender-ref ref="ASYNC" />
        </root>

    </log4j:configuration>

And here is the log4cxx debug output:

    log4cxx: Threshold ="".
    log4cxx: Level value for root is [debug].
    log4cxx: OptionConverter::toLevel: no class name specified,
level=[debug]
    log4cxx: root level set to DEBUG
    log4cxx: Class name: [org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender]
    log4cxx: Setting option name=[LocationInfo], value=[true]
    log4cxx: Attaching appender named [CONSOLE] to appender named
[ASYNC].
    log4cxx: No appender named [CONSOLE] could be found.
    log4cxx: Attaching appender named [FILE] to appender named [ASYNC].
    log4cxx: No appender named [FILE] could be found.
    log4cxx: Adding appender named [ASYNC] to logger [root].

When I change the root logger's appender from "ASYNC" to "CONSOLE" or
"FILE"
(i.e., bypassing the AsyncAppender), then everything works fine.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I am using log4cxx 0.10.0,
taken from <http://littletux.homelinux.org/log4cxx> on June 21.
I am running Windows XP SP2, with Visual C++ 6.0 SP6.

Thanks,
