Difficulty using Chainsaw SocketReceiver

[Robert Vaessen]

Hello,

 

I tried real hard (google, mail archives) not to post this message.
Please forgive any "stupidity".

 

I am logging messages using a SocketAppender. If I use the Chainsaw that
is "bundled" with log4j I see my messages. If I use Chainsaw V2 then I
only see the "housekeeping" messages that are produced by the
SocketReceiver when the connections are made; I never see my message.

 

Here is my client side log4j configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration debug="true"
xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>

            <appender name="Socket"
class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender">

                        <param name="RemoteHost" value="localhost"/>

                        <param name="Port" value="4560"/>

                        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

                           <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%t
%-5p %c{2} - %m%n"/>

                        </layout>

            </appender>

            <root>

                        <priority value="debug"/>

                        <appender-ref ref="Socket"/>

            </root>

</log4j:configuration>

 

Here is the command that I use to start the bundled Chainsaw:

start javaw -cp <MyPath>\log4j-1.2.9.jar -Dchainsaw.port=4560
org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.Main

 

The "new" Chainsaw, which I obtain via java webstart, reports its
version as "Chainsaw 2.0alpha". When I run it I am given the opportunity
to create a Simple Socket Receiver. I do so, specifying a port number of
4560.

 

Would someone please advise me? Also, feedback on whether or not I
successfully posted this message as "text only" will be welcome.

 

Best Regards,

Robert Vaessen
