XMLSocketAppender in log4cxx 0.9.8?

[Fred Mora <Fr...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to get a simple C++ program to log using SocketAppender.

The program doesn't do any hard-coded config, it's all in the log4j properties
file. In the config file, I defined a console appender, a file appender and an
XML socket appender.

The console and file appenders work as expected, but the socket appender doesn't
send any data. When I run netcat in listening mode on the port allocated to the
XML socket appender, netcat reports that the socket is opened and closed when
the program runs and exits, but zero bytes are transmitted.

Is there anything wrong in my log4j definition below?

# Forces log4j to display messages while parsing this config file
log4j.debug=true
