Problem with JMSAppender

[meuh]

Hello all

I'm trying to log errors with log4j by a topic Message-Driven Bean. I'm working with JBoss 3.0.6.

Here is a part from the log4j.xml :
--------------------------------------------------------------





[...]


<appender-ref ref="JMS"/>

----------------------------------------------------------------

When I start JBoss an error append, when it starts Log4JService :

10:44:06,281 INFO [Log4jService] Starting
10:44:06,281 INFO [Log4jService$URLWatchTimerTask] Configuring from URL: resource:log4j.xml
10:44:06,312 INFO [AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread] Running
log4j:ERROR Error while activating options for appender named [JMS].

JMS is not deployed yet when you start configuring log4j. Even the error you have is because the Naming service is not available yet AFAIK.

So you'lll have to start the naming service AND JMS (at least the connection factory)

This seems a little bit weird to me however ...

well, i'd love start the naming service and JMS but, i'm really newbie on the matter and... I don't know how to do this...

[meuh]

well I managed to start the naming service before log4J but i've got another error (which I already found on a topic, but the solution was too confused for me) :

Please, what can I do?
