I had the same problem a couple of days ago... After a while I figured out that this is just a problem with my dev environment....
When I am running the app in debug mode (or inside the dev environment => WebSphere Application Developer) it does not resolve the pattern correctly, as soon as I use it outside of the dev environment (with the JRE) it works.... I did not have the time to follow it up further... My guesses are, that there are problems to resolve it in debug mode or That it is a problem with none sun vms (I am using the IBM VM) Cheers Tom -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Siegel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 5:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: File:Line info not showing when using SocketAppender/SimpleSocketServer I'm using a SocketAppender in (what I think) is the simplest possible way. My config file on the client side looks like: #-------Client side configuration file----------------- log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender log4j.appender.A1.Port=12345 log4j.appender.A1.RemoteHost=localhost #------------------------------------------------------ I'm starting a SimpleSocketServer with the following config file as the argument: #-------------Server side config file----------- log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, LOG_FILE log4j.appender.LOG_FILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.LOG_FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.LOG_FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p %d [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n log4j.appender.LOG_FILE.File=clientLog #-------------------------------------------------- Everything seems to be working pretty much as expected except that the (%F:%L) formatting options in my conversion patterns shows as "(?:?)" in the rolling file clientLog. Using the same classes (I did compile with debugging symbols) with a local appender produces the correct file and line information. I know this is probably something trival but I could not find anything mentioning it in the archives. Thanks. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
