chainsaw not reading XMLLayout log file

["Beleznay, Dave" <Da...@webct.com>]

When I try to load up the following logfile with chainsaw I keep getting null pointer exceptions..

<log4j:event category="com.webct.platform.framework.ejb.JMSBase" timestamp="1044335246660" level="ERROR" thread="Thread-7"> <log4j:message><![CDATA[CLASS: com.webct.platform.framework.ejb.JMSBase METHOD: tryConnecting

<log4j:event category="com.webct.platform.framework.ifscontext.ContextMgr" timestamp="1044335279285" level="ERROR" thread="ExecuteThread: '24' for queue: 'PrimaryExecuteQueue'"> <log4j:message><![CDATA[CLASS: com.webct.platform.framework.ifscontext.ContextMgr METHOD: SessionHolder Default Constructor
Created Session Holder DaveBeleznay-1044335279285-1]]></log4j:message> </log4j:event>

The exception is as follows:

E:\development\jakarta-log4j-1.2.7\dist\lib>java -cp log4j-1.2.7.jar;..\..\..\xe
rces-1_4_4\xerces.jar org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.Main

Am I doing something wrong?  the application that is making the logfile is using log4j version 1.2.7 and I'm trying to use xerces 1.4.4 to parse the file. 

any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave
