Problems with AjaxAppender

[Abo]

Great tool & thanks for writing it!

I have 2  problems with AjaxAppender.

First of all, by default I only get very limited data being sent to the server - no date or time - which I thought was default with HttpPostLayout.

Secondly, when I try to set the layout myself:

var log = log4javascript.getDefaultLogger();
var ajApp = new log4javascript.AjaxAppender("appender.php");
ajApp.setLayout(new log4javascript.PatternLayout("%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p - %m%n"));
log.addAppender(ajApp);

I get a javascript error on page load:

Uncaught ReferenceError: loggingEvent is not defined
preparePostDatalog4javascript.js:168
sendAlllog4javascript.js:163
appendlog4javascript.js:186
Appender.doAppendlog4javascript.js:89
callAppenderslog4javascript.js:73
loglog4javascript.js:73

f.extend._Deferred.e.resolveWithjquery.min.js:16
f.e.extend.readyjquery.min.js:16
f.c.addEventListener.Bjquery.min.js:16

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

By default, HttpPostDataLayout sends the date as the "timestamp" parameter. The value is a number representing the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1st 1970, like the value you get from the getTime() method of Date objects in JavaScript.

The problem you're getting with PatternLayout is a bug in the AjaxAppender that is fixed in the next version (which I've been developing on and off for a while). I can send you a patched version of 1.4.1 if you need.
