I'm using the XMLSocketReceiver to receive log messages. I want to append those messages to a JMS queue. It kind of works. I don't want all messages generated in my receiver to end up in at my JMS appender, so I create a new logger repository (LoggerRepository, a.k.a. Hierarchy) and pass it to the XMLSocketReceiver. Now, log messages generated by my receive program only go to the default logger (good). HOWEVER, all log messages generated by the XMLSocketReceiver and XMLSocketNode classes (using the getLogger().debug()... paradigm) also go to the JMS queue appender. I'm guessing that this could be called a bug. The XMLSocketReceiver should log to whatever repository is in place for the class itself, and should not be using the repository passed to the constructor. The "passed in" repository should only be used for identifying appenders that should be used for the doPost() method. (My hypothesis is based on the fact that few, if any, other Log4j internal classes take a repository for an argument, so, it goes that intenal classes should log using the repository that results from the LogManager's repository selector rather than a custom repository passed as a parameter to the constructor.) I'd be interested in a short paragraph describing the log4j-1.3's new internal logging architecture since it looks like log4j is moving away from the LogLog helper. Thanks for any help. --Mark (Scott, you name and e-mail address was on XMLSocketReceiver so you get a special "CC".)
