Scott,

The LogFactor5 UI is launched inside the server VM, and consumes a lot
of memory. It also causes problems with redeployment of
applications. You can't use it if you want the log UI on another
computer than the server.

Chainsaw runs in a separate VM and therefore uses sockets to transmit
the log messages to the console.

We decided to switch to Chainsaw for the reasons above. Of course you
can still use LF5 if you prefer that UI, and can live with the
occasional out of memory exceptions.

Regards,
Julien

Hmmm..., why are we on a wild goose chase trying to get Chainsaw working
with OXF when you have already integrated with the Logfactor5 gui log
reader?  All I had to do was uncomment out the following line in my
log4j.xml file:

<!-- This is a graphical log analyser -->
<appender name="LF5Appender" class="org.orbeon.oxf.util.LF5Appender">
        <param name="MaxNumberOfRecords" value="1000"/>
</appender>

I'm curious, what was the advantage sending us down the Chainsaw path?
