Related question: Now i have the socket appender working with the
Plain Text Socket appender. However, the message is sent in a
serialized way and i think i have to de-serialize using a socket

recieve log4cxx messages and getting them back into original format?
Thanks

SocketAppender in log4j uses Java serialization to push a
LoggingEvent instance over the wire and is most commonly used to
connect an application with the Chainsaw logging event viewer.
SocketAppender in log4cxx (and maybe the others) did not attempt to
support the same format and attempting to connect a log4cxx
SocketAppender to a Chainsaw SocketReceiver will not yield a working
solution. XMLSocketAppender was provided as an alternative that
would work with Chainsaw. It may be technically possible and likely
highly desirable to make log4cxx SocketAppender produce packets that
are compatible with log4j (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
LOGCXX-7). However that would break any existing receiver that might
have used the existing log4cxx-specific format.
