I have looked at the JMSAppender and have used it with success; however, I am curious if someone has written or attempted to written an appender that uses WebSphere MQ solely. The reason I ask is that we are heavily invested in MQ via multiple operating systems and languages. Having an appender that sends out MQ formatted messages rather than only JMS ones would allow non Java applications to be able to dequeue the messages at there final destination.
In addition, if there were a port for log4cc that sent out the same formatted messages, the dequeue application would not have to change. I looked at the source code for JMSAppender, and it seems as long as I don't send the payloads as serialized objects and make a format required, it should be fairly simple. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks in advance, Brian M.
