scott deboy commented on LOG4PHP-48:
------------------------------------
Chainsaw already supports this capability - see XMLSocketReceiver, UDPReceiver
and MulticastReceiver. You can also use Chainsaw to load regular text files,
load events out of a database and load xml files. XML-based content can either
conform to log4j's dtd or java.util.logging's DTD. Note, these are xml
fragments, not xml documents, that are loaded. For an example, start chainsaw,
go to the chainsaw-log tab and choose file-save as and save the content
(formatted as xml). note, you can also load this xml content via file/load
log4j file.

> log4j and log4cxx both have serialization tests in their unit tests.
