Mi Mahesh, If you'd like to use Chainsaw with log4j2, you need to use the latest Chainsaw developer snapshot, available here: http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy
If you use a file appender in your log4j configuration, add the JmDns jar to your application classpath (http://jmdns.sourceforge.net), and update your log4j configuration as described in the documentation (including specifying a URI to your log file), Chainsaw should be able to parse and tail your log file. Feel free to ask additional questions here on the user list.
