Help with Chainsaw v2 configuration. Receiver-log tab is missing in the chainsawWebStart gui.

[Ami Thomasgaard <am...@ifi.uio.no>]

Hi!

I've tried to follow the scenario described in 
http://www.codecomments.com/message1198937.htm . But when loading the 
configuration in Chainsaw v2 (chainsawWebStart) - either by including 
the URL to the log4j-receiver-sample.xml in the view-show or just by 
adding the socket/log file receiver - nothing happens beside that I see 
the receiver in the Receivers window/panel. No warnings, errors or any 
new tab.

System description:
-------------------
bea weblogic, version 6.
sun java, version 1.3.12 (using log4j)

included in my classpath
log4j-1.3alpha-7.jar 
log4j-chainsaw-1.3alpha-7.jar


My log4j.properties file:
=========================

My log4j-receiver-sample.xml file:
==================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Output : Starting BEA application server

I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or point me to any 
relevant documentation.
