question about JMSAppender

["Sye, Karin" <ka...@lmco.com>]

Hi,

  I'm new to log4j.  The version of log4j  I'm using is 1.0.4.

  The JMSAppender class does not seem to pick up the PatternLayout specified
in the property file. (see below)
  How can I make that happen so that JMS client can receive the properly
layout logging messages?
  
  Thanks in advance for the help.

 [ content of property file - jms.lcf ]

Karin,

The JMSAppender does not require nor use a layout. It will publish a 
LoggingEvent object to the JMS topic that you specify. It is the 
responsibility of the subscriber (e.g. JMSSink) to format the LoggingEvent. 
I hope this answers the question. Ceki
