RE: HTMLPatternLayout

["CRANNEY, John" <jc...@westpac.com.au>]

Yep, we played with it but it wasn't customizable enough. Actually I got my
subject line wrong: what we have written is an HTMLPatternLayout that we run
through a rolling file appender. It does a few things that the HTMLAppender
doesn't:

- Color coding of log messages by priority (really handy when scanning a
large log for fatals/errors if you've got debug on)
- Auto scroll to bottom on reload (tested in IE only at this point)
- Total customization of messages as it is a PatternLayout instead of an
appender

At the moment it's only been tested with IE but it looks OK in opera too.


Regards,

JC

Have you seen the HTMLAppender that ships with log4j?
