xml would boat a log file and put too much overhead on the system. I'd
rather parse a text file without a bumch of tags. It would be nice to view
it as plain text without a xml parsing layer and to be able to view in a
browser. I only use xml in last resort situations.

Suggestion: If you spit everything out in XML with a "Thou shalt use this
DTD to use this viewer" then you don't have to worry about various formats
and you can use any of the awesome XML tools (eg. Xerces, Cocoon, etc.) to
transform it any way you like easily. Transformations from XML are so
simple that it even works if your appender is an XML file and you use a
simple "tail" type program that transforms the elements to something more
appropriate for a human to watch.

Subject: log viewer
I built into a logger that I was using for a while ( one similar to log4j )
a nice servlet log viewer and sorter. Weblogic also has a nice log viewing
interface. If log4j had a good, clean log viewer that could sort and
filter, it would have every feature possible. The difficulty is in making a
sorter that would be able to read multiple formats. Some set of format tags
could be identified for rough date, category and level sorting. A browser
interface would be ideal. I'm thinking about having my team build one
along witht he jms-rendezvous appender ). It would be a nice additon. . .
