Hey Folks, I'm gearing up to write a preliminary gui for editing log4j configuration files. I don't know of any that currently exist(?). My employer has need of a simple configuration gui (it won't be very flexible in this first version). After writing that, I'll be more familiar with the issues involved and will start tackling a more generic setup on my own time.
Initially I was planning on using DOM for parsing and modifying XML config files. It seemed a natural fit. However, in the spirit of logging.apache.org, and because one of our requirements at work is that our app work for all of the log4j variants (perl and c++ in particular), it looks like we'll have to use standard properties files. I'm wondering if anybody out there: 1) Has tried to build one of these before and has any ideas 2) Knows of code that would be a good fit for parsing and saving the properties files (log4j obviously has code for parsing the properties file, but I don't know if it will be applicable or need reworking) 3) Thinks this is a bad idea ;-) Ideally, we'd be able to provide plugin functionality so that no matter what configuration file style users prefer, we'd be able to read/write them. Thoughts? Richard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
