Hi Ceki, I have a question about the LoggingEvent object. I'd like to log some messages by "building" (populating constructor) of LoggingEvent object, then log it with my appenders. I saw some sample code on line and what I have at the moment is this: Logger log; LoggingEvent event; Object[] args = {"test", "test2"}; //<-- I'm not sure exactly what this is for? event = new LoggingEvent("class", (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger("SimpleSocketServer"), Level.toLevel("DEBUG"), "test message", null, args); log = (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger("testClassName"); log.callAppenders(event); This works with my "CONSOLE" appender and I can see messages (with the passed values) printed. I have also a "DB" - database appender, to which I'd like to write as well, but something doesn't work.... I see a couple of "initialization" log messages in the database, (like port and waiting for clients to connect etc.) but not the one I'm building myself, even though as I stated above I can see it in the console. What am I doing wrong? Here is part of my config file: <configuration> <appender name="DB" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.db.DBAppender"> <connectionSource class="ch.qos.logback.core.db.DataSourceConnectionSource"> <dataSource class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"> <driverClass>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClass> <jdbcUrl>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/logging</jdbcUrl> <user>greg</user> <password>greg</password> </dataSource> </connectionSource> </appender> <!-- here I have simple console appender called CONSOLE--> <root> <level value ="DEBUG"/> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /> <appender-ref ref="DB" /> </root> </configuration> UPDATE: I just did a little test and I added an HTML FILE appender. I see all messages there too, just like in CONSOLE appender case. but still nothing in the database except for the initialization messages. Any suggestions? Thanks Gregory.
