Custom Appender

[ian <ia...@tiktaktoe.co.uk>]

Hi 

I need to send in XML data which I then break up and store in a database - any ideas as to the best way to do this? 

I'm looking to create a custom appender, similar to the current ADONet appender by extending the AppenderSkeleton class, and implementing the Append method. 

The trouble is, I'm a little confused when it comes to the LoggingEvent class - am I right in thinking that I'll have to create my own LoggingEvent class to define the data I want to pass in? If so, then I guess I'll also have to override CallAppender in the Logger class to create my new loggingevent object. 

Am I on the right track with this line of thought? 

Thanks in advance 

Ian
