UtilLoggingXMLDecoder supports the reception of events from java.util.logging (by default their socket handler sends events conforming to logger.dtd).
I agree the decoders need to be rewritten using SAX - I just haven't had the time.

I was thinking that independent release cycle implied subproject status. Whatever the structure is called that could result in Chainsaw having independent releases, CVS/SVN module and sharing developer/user lists and governance would work for me. > > I gave the 'category' -> 'logger' DTD example primarily to show how > the DTD changed when jdk 1.4 util.logging was released and log4j > renamed major pieces of their system in order to have names match. > There's no technical reason we couldn't support the prior DTD in > XMLDecoder, but I've only seen one person mention this bug and they > were fine with updating their log4j version to a more recent release > in order to avoid the problem. > I wouldn't think that would be an issue unless DTD validation was enabled. However, checking o.a.l.x.UtilLoggingXMLDecoder and XMLDecoder (don't know how they are different) in the logging-log4j module it seems that not only is it doing a validating parse, it is building a DOM tree which I would think would make Chainsaw terribly slow and memory consuming for large log files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
