Summary: Application wide config chainsaw.xml overwritten when
Tab Identifier = PROP.hostname
Product: Log4j
Version: 1.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P4
Component: chainsaw
AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
ReportedBy: simon@baltovic.com
We use chainsaw to monitor various application across different servers, and to
help organise this visually we set the "Application-wide Preferences" -> "Tab
identifier" to "PROP.hostname". This allows us to arbitrarily group log messages
onto the same tab.
The problem here is that Chainsaw messages are then sent to a tab called
"Chainsaw", which then creates the config files "Chainsaw.colors",
"Chainsaw.properties" and "Chainsaw.xml". The last filename conflicts with the
application wide config file of the same name.
Depending on whether or not a user has applied layout changes to the "Chainsaw"
tab, and on which file is written to last when closing chainsaw, the application
wide file may or may not be overwritten with the Tab config file.
To remedy this, we've set the "Tab identifier" to "PROP.hostname -", but it's
kind of a messy solution. Would it not make more sense to name the global xml
config file to something more specific ie; chainsaw.settings.xml to match the
name of the properties file for instance?

I'll make the suggested change.
There is one drawback to this change which affects existing Chainsaw users -
their global settings won't be loaded (loaded config file, tab identifier, etc)
- they'll have to re-apply their changes.
They recently had to go through this when we started to use Xstream to load most
Chainsaw settings - and Chainsaw is still alpha (2 years now?), so not much harm
done, just a bit annoying.
I'll add a note in the release notes when I make the change.

Committed - will show up in the Web Start build/bundle/Mac dmg image at some
point in the near future (after a few unrelated fixes/enhancements are made).
