I'll then see if I can work out the configuration details required
to get Chainsaw to join in and see Logging Events.
It's definitely doable, I just don't have all the info as yet.
Ok, simplistic test case here, using the class and jndi.properties
shown further below, which depends on activemq 4.1.1 core jar and
log4j 1.2.14.
Steps:
1) Download ActiveMQ 4.1.1 distribution. Run the broker:
Paul-Smiths-Computer:/JavaStuff/apache-activemq-4.1.1/bin paulsmith
$ ./activemq
ACTIVEMQ_HOME: /JavaStuff/apache-activemq-4.1.1
ACTIVEMQ_BASE: /JavaStuff/apache-activemq-4.1.1
Loading message broker from: xbean:activemq.xml
INFO BrokerService - ActiveMQ 4.1.1 JMS Message
Broker (localhost) is starting
IN
..
...etc
Also, in a second window, run the consumer example that comes with
ActiveMQ (it comes with an examples sub-folder):
ant consumer -Dtopic=true -Dsubject=jmsappendertest
This will sit and wait for 10 messages on the 'jmsappendertest' topic
to arrive.
Now run the below simplistic test case showing how using the
JMSAppender can send topic messages. The consumer test above will
print out the messages it receives.
package org.apache.logging;
import java.util.Date;
import org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender;
public class Shell {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
BasicConfigurator.configure();
Logger.getLogger("org.apache.activemq").setLevel(Level.INFO);
Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(Shell.class);
LOG.info("Startup...");
JMSAppender appender = new JMSAppender();
appender.setInitialContextFactoryName
(ActiveMQInitialContextFactory.class.getName());
appender.setProviderURL("tcp://localhost:61616");
appender.setTopicConnectionFactoryBindingName
("topicConnectionFactory");
appender.setTopicBindingName("dynamicTopics/jmsappendertest");
appender.activateOptions();
Logger.getRootLogger().addAppender(appender);
while (true) {
LOG.info("At the 3rd stroke it will be " + new Date
().toString());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
}
}
-----------------------------------------
You will also need this jndi.properties file in the class path of
this example:
java.naming.factory.initial =
org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory
# use the following property to configure the default connector
java.naming.provider.url = tcp://localhost:61616
connectionFactoryNames = connectionFactory, queueConnectionFactory,
topicConnectionFactory
# register some topics in JNDI using the form
# topic.[jndiName] = [physicalName]
topic.jmsappendertest = jmsappendertest
Next I'll work out how to get Chainsaw to replace the conusmer test
as the client.
cheers
Paul
