merc,
Thank you for the examples. I originally used the properties format because all the examples I saw were in that format. This will make it much easier to switch to the xml format. Why don't you add this to the log4cxx wiki? http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4cxx/ -David ________________________________ From: mercury linx [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2008 1:21 AM To: log4cxx-user@logging.apache.org Subject: log4cxx tutorial Hi Guys, when I first started using log4cxx about a year ago I was stun by its unavailable and limited sample usage, had to filter through the log4j documentations and test and trial to find out the proper behavior. (I'm a copy&paste-first-ask-question-later person ;) . I've put up a sample usage with a sample XML configuration file that demonstrate the following appender at: http://www.dreamcubes.com/blog/?itemid=59 1. org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender 2. org.apache.log4j.FileAppender 3. org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender 4. org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender 5. org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender 6. org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender 7. org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketAppender Some people may prefer BasicConfigurator format, but I just think the DOMConfigurator format makes more sense to me : ) And of course, the credit are still to those who actually contribute to the log4cxx project, (I'm a copy&paste-first-ask-question-later kind of person remembered? ;) . Best, merc
