Greg, If I remember correctly, you already had log4cxx write to a log4j SocketServer using XML layout. You can do the same with logback's log4j compatible XMLLayout. See [1] for more information. HTH, [1] http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#log4jXMLLayout Greg Flex wrote:
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.
