NAME

Log::Log4perl::JavaMap - maps java log4j appenders to Log::Dispatch classes

SYNOPSIS

     ###############################
     log4j.appender.FileAppndr1        = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
     log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.File   = /var/log/onetime.log
     log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.Append = false

     log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
     log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

DESCRIPTION

If somebody wants to create an appender called org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender, we want to translate it to Log::Dispatch::Screen, and then translate the log4j options into Log::Dispatch parameters..

What's Implemented

Here's the list of appenders I see on the current (6/2002) log4j site.

These are implemented

    ConsoleAppender - Log::Dispatch::Screen
    FileAppender    - Log::Dispatch::File

These should/will/might be implemented

    RollingFileAppender - 
    DailyRollingFileAppender - 
    SMTPAppender     - Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender
    SyslogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Syslog
    SocketAppender - (pass a socket to Log::Dispatch)
    JDBCAppender - Log::Dispatch::DBI
    

These might be implemented but they don't have corresponding classes in Log::Dispatch (yet):

    NullAppender
    NTEventLogAppender
    TelnetAppender

These might be simulated

    LF5Appender - use Tk?
    ExternallyRolledFileAppender - catch a HUP instead?

These will probably not be implemented

    AsyncAppender
    JMSAppender
    SocketHubAppender
