Thanks a ton Scott for your help.
Just an FYI though - I was unable to get
-Dlog4j.configuration=<some path to xml config>
to work though.
The only way I could get chainsaw2 to use an xml
configuration was to "cheat", rename the desired xml
file to "log4j.xml" and add its dir to the classpath
before starting Chainsaw v2.
Just thought you'd want to know,
