I am trying to stream some logging messages from an application that is a bit of a black box to me. It is packaged with commons-logging-1.0.4.jar and is using log4j underneath it. I am trying to stream one of the loggers so I can view it in chainsaw. I can direct the log messages to a file without a problem, but when I configure a socket appender I never see the connection accepted in the chainsaw log. I can telnet to port 4560 on the host running chain saw and will then see that connection accepted. I can't figure out what is mis-configured and am starting to wonder if this feature does not work with commons-logging. Here is the configuration snippet from the log4j.xml configuration. Is there something mis-configured that I don't understand?
<appender name="SOCKET" class="org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.SocketAppender">
<param name="RemoteHost" value="ljgaer"/>
<param name="Port" value="4560"/>
</appender>
<appender name="FILE2" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="/tmp/test.log" />
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="50MB" />
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="###########MSG%n%m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<!-- Change level to ALL to turn on xml logging. -->
<logger name="XMLLogger" additivity="false">
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="SOCKET" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE2" />
</logger>
