Change the order of appenders in your rootCategory entry, so that the chainsaw appender is first in the list.
The reason: logging event changed between 1.2.x and 1.3 - events sent by a 1.2.x socketappender can't contain location info (file, line, class, etc) or MDC entries if you want them to be received by a log4j 1.3 socketreceiver (Chainsaw v2). Scott -----Original Message----- From: Bill Harrelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 1:00 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: Help getting started with Chainsaw V2 The idea of using SocketHubAppender was very helpful, in theory for what I want, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. Logging is working fine to stdout and weblog, but chainsaw doesn't see anything. It doesn't even create a tab for the receiver.
