Log::Log4perl::JavaMap 1.11

Log::Log4perl::JavaMap is a Perl module that 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
###############################

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

(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
