Log4j and JMS

[Jonas Sondell <js...@ladok.umu.se>]

Hi
I've been playing around with Log4j for a project and i have some questions
about JMSSink. Ive been tying to configure Log4j with JMS so that i can
deliver error messages to a diffrent machine. But i cant get the example to
work properly. Im using IBM Visual Age for Java 4.0 and i run the testcode
in the IDE.

The error when starting the JMSSink:
=================================================================
log4j: Trying to find [log4j.properties] using
sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@16aa class loader.
log4j: Using URL [file:/C:/XML_config/log4j.properties] for automatic log4j

log4j: Finalizing appender named [A1].
log4j: Closing appender [A1].
=================================================================

The exceptions occurs when i create a new InitialContext and tries to do a
lookup of the binding name

  protected static Object lookup(Context ctx, String name) throws
NamingException {
    try {
      return ctx.lookup(name); // Error
    } catch(NameNotFoundException e) {
      LogLog.error("Could not find name ["+name+"].");
      throw e;
    }
  }

What could be wrong? Also has anyone tried Log4j and OpenJMS together?

//Jonas
