Hi - Sorry in advance if this is a FAQ: I didn't find an answer after searching
for a while, hence this email...
On the one hand, I'm using a SocketAppender for sending serialized
LoggingEventVO objects from some of my company's software (which I help
develop) to a custom consumer of such events. That works just fine.
But now I also want to configure a "logback.xml" file so that the same kind of
serialized LoggingEventVO objects can alternatively be captured to a file. We
need that when either QA engineers or end-users are running the software, but
do not have access to the socket server that I use (and hence can't use the
SocketAppender). The hope is that then the QA engineer or end-user could get
that log file to me, and I could have my serialized event consumer read from
the file, instead of getting the data from a socket connection. Then I can
diagnose that QA person's problem, or end-user's problem.
However, I don't know what particular logback XML to use. I tried a
"FileAppender" / "ObjectStreamEncoder" combination, but the file ended up being
empty (whereas a simple ConsoleAppender proved there were in fact events to
capture). Here's my failed XML:
<appender name="SERIALIZED_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>log_output_serialized.bin</file>
<append>false</append>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.ObjectStreamEncoder" />
</appender>
<root level="ALL">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="SERIALIZED_FILE" />
</root>
Do I need to write my own variant of "FileAppender": one which (like
SocketAppender) doesn't use an Encoder, but instead bakes in the code to
serialize LoggingEventVO objects?
Thanks in advance,
Rich Wagner
