Log4j, JMSAppender e JBOSS newbie question

[Pedro Nuno Tavares da Silva <ps...@telbit.pt>]

Hi,
 i am new using log4j and JBoss, and i'm trying to use the JMSAppender, 
i have seen an similar question/answer here, but the answer did not help 
me much. I am using log4j 1.2.8 and jboss 3.2.3, log4j is in debug mode. 
There's a j2ee client who logs to JMS and a Message Bean who will 
receive the logs...

My log4j.properties looks like this:

#  log4j.properties JMS
log4j.rootCategory=ALL, jms
### The JMS appender
log4j.appender.jms=org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender
log4j.appender.jms.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout
log4j.appender.jms.TopicBindingName=topic/logger
log4j.appender.jms.TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName=ConnectionFactory


The topic/logger is created.

My jndi.properties looks like this:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces

I am forcing the reading of log4j.properties file with a line like this:

PropertyConfigurator.configure("/home/pns/workspace/MyEjbClient/log4j.properties");

The hole (sorry) debug output of log4j is:

He, loads the log4.properties i can see that, bu he tells me that no 
"appenders could be found for logger", how can that be?

Sorry if my question looks too simple.

Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated,
Pedro Silva.
