I found SMTPAppender doesn't send japanese message correctly and FileAppender always uses the default encoding. I could solve the problems by writing subclasses but I think it's better SMTPAppender and FileAppender would be improved for them. I modified SMTPAppender.java and FileAppender.java of log4j-1.1.3 then tested. It worked fine.
Could anybody please merge the changes to the original source? If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks very much. * Problem SMTPAppender The mail I received has Content-Type: text/plain though the body contains like ??? because the japanese string isn't converted correctly. FileAppender I would like to write logs in utf-8 but FileAppender always uses the default encoding.. and there is no way to specify the encoding. * Modification SMTPAppender Add the feature to specify a charset. FileAppender Add the feature to specify an encoding. * Source code modification org/apache/log4j/net/SMTPAppender.java 54a55 > private String charset; 339c340,343 < part.setContent(sbuf.toString(), layout.getContentType()); --- > part.setContent(sbuf.toString(), > charset == null ? > layout.getContentType() : > layout.getContentType() + ";charset=" + charset); 513a518,527 > } > > public > void setCharset(String charset) { > this.charset = charset; > } > > public > String getCharset() { > return charset; org/apache/log4j/FileAppender.java 14a15 > import java.io.FileOutputStream; 84a86,87 > private String encoding = null; > 227a231,239 > public > void setEncoding(String encoding) { > this.encoding = encoding; > } > > public > String getEncoding() { > return encoding; > } 284c296,300 < this.setQWForFiles(new FileWriter(fileName, append)); --- > this.setQWForFiles(encoding == null ? > new FileWriter(fileName, append) : > new OutputStreamWriter( > new FileOutputStream(fileName, append), > encoding)); * Test I tested modified code using a XML configuration file. I put <param name="Encoding" value="utf-8"/> for org.apache.log4j.FileAppender, org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender and <param name="Charset" value="iso-2022-jp"/> for org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender. I ran the test program with javamail-1.2 and jaf-1.0.1. It worked file. Naozo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
