Chainsaw XMLSocketReceiver

[OOMS DIRK <Ex...@siemens.be>]

Hello,

I just started experimenting with chainsaw and it really looks nice. However
I can't get the XMLSocketReceiver in Chainsaw to work. I started Chainsaw
via WebStart. The receiver is visible in the receiver window and when my
applications starts logging I can see some socket activity (see trace
below), but there is no tab showing up for the XMLSocketReceiver. Below is
trace and config info. Any suggestion?

Cheers,
dirk

1. An error message when chainsaw boots. In the archive I found that his
could be caused by the CLASSPATH not set properly. I believe I've set it
correct, could there be other reasons? Is it because I use WebStart?
