[SOLUTION] Cosole appender encoding problem (it always uses default encoding)

[Mehmet D. AKIN]

Sure, here it is, I created a new appender, extending default Console 
appender:

TurkishWindowsConsoleAppender.java

/*
* Created on 18.Mar.2004
*
*/
package foo;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender;

/**
* @author Mehmet D. AKIN
*
*/
public class TurkishWindowsConsoleAppender extends ConsoleAppender {
   public TurkishWindowsConsoleAppender (){
       super();
   }
  
   public void activateOptions() {
       if(target.equals(SYSTEM_OUT)) {
           try {
               if(Conf.isRunningOnWinConsole)  //<-- make this true to 
use your own windows console encoding
                   setWriter(new 
OutputStreamWriter(System.out,"CP857")); // <-- Put your own encoding here
               else
                   setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
           } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       } else {
           setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.err));
       }
   }
}

and change your Logger configuration file as:

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, cons
log4j.appender.cons=foo.TurkishWindowsConsoleAppender
Hope it helps

Mehmet.
