Notification if log.error

[susan]

Hi!

Maybe somebody know, if it is possible to reveive a Notification, if a mbean, service oder application write out a log.error-message to the log?

Maybe I should register as Listener on Log4j ???

Thank you very much in advance!

Log4j 1.2 has some MBeans for management, but it
doesn't include a "JMX notification appender".

That is what you need. An appender is something that
receives logging events and does something with them.

Soon,

Actually, I thought about contributing a
JMXNotificationAppender to log4j.
There would be nothing to stop me releasing it
under both the Apache and LGPL licenses for
the two projects :-)

I'll probably do JMXHandler for the java 1.4 logging
as well.

This goes in at about number 15 on my list of things
to do ;-)
