JMSAppender initialization

[Don Isenor <Do...@ePocket.com>]

(I'm a new subscriber, not sure if this request was posted on the first 
attempt...)

I'm having no luck deploying a JMSAppender class (based on Jamie Tsao's 
code) under JBoss (3.0.7 and 3.2.1)... JBoss initializes log4j before it 
sets up the JMS queues, so my appender throws an exception trying to 
initialize. There appears to be no way to defer the initialization until 
such time as the queue is available, and no way to retry the 
initialization. Calling the initialize (the activateOptions() method) 
from my servlet has no effect - I suspect a classloader problem here, 
i.e., my servlet and log4j are not using the same classloader. Doing all 
the work (creating the appender, configuring it, and attaching it to the 
root logger) in the servlet rather than via log4j.xml similarly has no 
effect -- the appender's append() method is never called.

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.
