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

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..
org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
(Note that you can always use the Log::Dispatch::* module. By 'implemented' I mean having a translation class that translates log4j options into the Log::Dispatch options so you can use log4j rather than log4perl syntax in your config file.)
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 RollingFileAppender - Log::Dispatch::FileRotate (by Mark Pfeiffer) JDBCAppender - Log::Log4perl::Appender::DBI SyslogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Syslog NTEventLogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Win32EventLog
These should/will/might be implemented
DailyRollingFileAppender - SMTPAppender - Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender
These might be implemented but they don't have corresponding classes in Log::Dispatch (yet):
NullAppender TelnetAppender
These might be simulated
LF5Appender - use Tk? ExternallyRolledFileAppender - catch a HUP instead?
These will probably not be implemented
AsyncAppender JMSAppender SocketAppender - (ships a serialized LoggingEvent to the server side) SocketHubAppender
