Logging in Applet

[Johan Karlsson TACMa <jo...@tac.se>]

Hi!

I have just started using Log4j. At the moment I´m evaluating it. The first
try was an application. I really like Log4j!!

However, when trying to incorporate it into one of out products I ran into
some troubles. I tried to use it in an applet. When I make a call to
Category.getInstance(), I get a SecurityException. (I´m using IE 5.5 with
Microsoft JVM Release 5.0.0.3319). The reason is that Category.getInstance()
is calling System.getProperty(). Is it possible to have an extra method to
get a Category instance? (One that does not access the properties?)

At the moment I have solved by changing the Applet security permissions.
However, we cannot deliver our code with that restriction.

Regards
Johan

Johan,

Does the security exception appear when you have log4j.configDebug property 
on? Is the exception caught by log4j? Can show it to us? Thanks, Ceki
