Ceki Culce,

That worked.....
Awesome. Thank You.
I'd like to ask you another question....
I'd like to use Logback instead of Log4j however Log4j server along with Log4cxx client and with SocketAppender
"understand" each other. That is, I can log with log4j  Server messages (with the SocketAppender) that are
coming from the Log4cxx clients and of course log4j clients. Then, I can write all these log messages to just one file
on a server where my Log4j server is running.
This is what I'm really after. I know that Log4j, and I assume also logback as well, has JMSAppender.
I don't know that much (yet) about JMS but I wonder if there's a way to use it to write messages coming
from C++ client, Java or whatever client we may have.... (I know I need to handle Flex clients as well, Oh man!)
I know you more knowledgeble in this area........
Please let me know if there is a way to "capture" all these different log messages coming from different clients somehow
and persist them to one repository (like a DB or a flat txt file)
Thanks
Greg.

Hello Greg,

I have not looked at log4j 1.3 code for a long time. Here is some code
that will probably do what you want:

 // code for log4j 1.3 and not logback

 logger = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(className);
 JoranConfigurator jc = new JoranConfigurator();
 jc.doConfigure(configFile, LogManager.getLoggerRepository());
 ExecutionContext ec =  jc.getExecutionContext();
 for(Object o: ec.getErrorList()) {
   System.out.println(o);
 }

Again the above code is for log4j 1.3 not logback.

HTH,

Hi Ceki Gülcü,

Thanks for your fast reply.
So the problem is that I'm not using the Logback but the Log4j 1.3 alpha 8 version that also has
JoranConfigurator object.  (author: Curt Arnold, Ceki Gülcü <http://www.qos.ch/log4j/>)

I thought I ask you since you've written it and you more likely to reply to my message from this forum.
I'm looking at the (Log4j 1.3 alpha 8) API and don't see any LoggerContext object there.
I have at the moment this in my class:

public someConstructor(String className, String propertyFile) {
             //Reads the configuration file.
       if (!configFile.endsWith("xml") || configFile == ""){
           throw new InvalidParameterException("Invalid XML property file.");
       }
           logger = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(className);
       JoranConfigurator jc = new JoranConfigurator();
       jc.doConfigure(configFile, LogManager.getLoggerRepository());
   }
