Hello All,
I'm trying to configure JMSAppender in JBoss 4.2.3
I modified the root jboss-log4j.xml (at server/default/conf) to enable the appender.
<appender name="TESTLOGGINGJMS" class="org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>
<param name="ProviderURL" value="localhost" />
<param name="InitialContextFactoryName" value="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory" />
<param name="URLPkgPrefixes" value="org.jboss.naming rg.jnp.interfaces" />
<param name="TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName" value="TopicConnectionFactory"/>
<param name="TopicBindingName" value="topic/loggingTopic"/>
</appender>
I add my own logger to the same file as
<logger name="com.prpo" additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="TESTLOGGINGJMS" />
</logger>
When I start the jboss server, looks like the server is waiting for the topic to be created.
And throws an exception saying
14:26:34,627 INFO [Log4jService$URLWatchTimerTask] Configuring from URL: resource:jboss-log4j.xml
log4j:ERROR Error while activating options for appender named [TESTLOGGINGJMS].
javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out] [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]]]
This is because the JMS topic is not created yet. I create the topic via a -service.xml file using MBeans.
How can I delay initializing the log4j appender until the topic is created?
thanks
Pras
