XML Logger conceptual usage

[Botond Orban <Bo...@epam.com>]

Dear Ant Developers

 

 I'm a developer from Budapest, Hungary.

 

 We have tried to use the CruiseControl in our continuous integration 

 process, but we run in some difficulties. We get a 

 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

 

 After a few days spent near the CruiseControl I observerd, that the 

 CruiseControl uses the org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger for formatting 

 the ant output.

 

 The problem is that our build process is so huge, that the result 

 doesn't fits in a DOM.

 

 I have also tried to tell to the JVM to use more memory, but it 

 doesn't works.

 

 I thing that conceptually it is not the best idea to use the a DOM implementation for logging purposes. The log events musn't be stored in the memory for long time. (And this "long time" in our case depends how long the build takes.) They should be flushed as soon as possible.

 

 My question would be: Is there any change request which requests that 

 the XMLLogger not to use DOM API, rather some stream?

 

 If there is, in which build the change will be released?

 

 If not then I propose this change as a change request.

 

PS: By the time I solved the problem, I made a workaround, but the problem is still there... :(

 

Waiting for your answer.

Look here, maybe you can use this if it's still compatible:
