You need to provide SocketServer with a log4j configuration file which defines an XMLSocketReceiver.
Note that any events received by the receiver will be passed to the appenders defined in the same configuration file, so you can write your own appender and add it to the configuration to examine events or write the events to a log file using the FileAppender, etc. Here's a thread with more info and an example configuration: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08818.html Scott On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Gavin Gilmour <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello there. > > I'm having some trouble re-constructing a LoggingEvent at the other end > from > a > XML serialized one through a stream.
