Re: log4j namespace question

[Curt Arnold]

Based on previous discussions on the topic, it wasn't intentional but 
unfortunately that is how it is.  In log4j 1.3, we have introduced an 
new namespace "http://logging.apache.org"; that contains all the 
configuration elements and the intention to provide appropriate schemas 
to assist in configuration authoring.  At the present, I have added a 
unit test that will check a collection of configuration documents 
against a schema and provided a very, very rudimentary starting schema 
that was going to evolve into a proper definition of log4j (and 
log4cxx, et al) configuration.  However, that has been stalled at a 
very primitive state for quite some time.

If you were going to attempt to schema validate the current 
configuration files, you would need to define a schema for 
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j containing configuration and import a 
no-namespace schema for all the other elements.

Hello,
I have a question on the example xml config files in the log4j book, 
e.g. on
page 75 (of my version)

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
  <appender ...
</log4j:configuration>
My basic knowledge of xml namespaces tells me that 'appender' (and all 
other
tags inside this config) is outside the log4j namespace (else the top 
tag
should have contained a default namespace like:
xmlns="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";).  Is there a reason for this 
or is
my knowledge of xml namespaces not even basic?

[I was hitting this problem when i was writing an xml schema that was
checking whether a configuration was conforming to a subset of the 
log4j
tags.]
