Paul,
Yes, all I need is an application using JMSAppender to send log
messages to
a message queue and then another application which can consume these
messages and make them 'viewable'. I have got the SMTPAppender part
working,
which sends my 'error' logs using email...:). Just struggling with the
JMSAppender part..Thanks for all your help.
are you _really_ tied to JMS? Could it just be a relatively simpler
socket-based implementation? If it could, then you should just use
Chainsaw:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html
Chainsaw can connect to a remote application and capture it's logs.
It actually _can_ use JMS, but I'm not convinced you really need that
transport mechanism when a Socket is all you need to use.
I would try out Chainsaw and configure your application like this:
* inside your application, configure a SocketHubAppender. This will
create an appender that allows other clients to connect to it and
receive Logging events
* Start Chainsaw, and configure a SocketHubReceiver and point it at
the host where your application is running.
It will then connect and you'll receive all your lovely Logging
events in a nice viewer.
