Log4j and JMS Appender Using ActiveMQ

[jpuro]

Does anyone have an example of setting up a log4j appender that points to an ActiveMQ topic? I am trying to find information on this but have not been able to locate anything as of yet.

Regards,

Jeff

I have not done it, but I can imagine that it's pretty easy. You just set up ActiveMQ like it says in the following instructions. http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ActiveMqIntegration

Then set up a topic you want to use as logging as an AdminObject(the example above set's up Queue's A-D, you can set a topic up the same way.
ex..

activemq/topic/Logging <depends optional-attribute-name="RARName">jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name='activemq-ra-4.0.1.rar' javax.jms.Topic PhysicalName=topic.Logging

When configuring the jms appender for log4j, you would use the following arguments...
