Hi,
I use JAVA log4j in my WEB Application and I would like display log on client side at runtime.
I read documentation and I found AJAXAppender, but according to the documentation, AJAXAppender SENDS log messages to a server.
Is it possible to RECEIVE message from server with log4jjavscript? I have a java struts action (server side) which log message with java log4j, and I would like have an AJAX component which is able to plug with JAVA log4j logs, in order to display logs into an HTML console.
Thank you for your response.
Regards Angelo

It's not currently possible in log4javascript to receive messages from the server. To be honest it's not something I'd even thought of. It would certainly be possible to write a custom Ajax script that polls the server and uses log4javascript's PopUpAppender or InPageAppender as its console, but there's nothing built in.

Hi Tim,
no problem for your delay. Thank you for your response. I'm developping an JAVA AjaxApender which is able to store event of log4J (JAVA) into JAVA queue. So after with Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater of prototype.js I get logs of server. It's starting to works (I can display logs of server into HTML page). Now I'm studying your log4javascript to display logs received into Browser console.
Once I have ended, I would like integrate my component into my open source projetct http://jscontrolstags.sourceforge.net/ in order to include taglib which generate log4j received.
Have you agree that I integrate your log4javascript into my project (in order to customize log recived with your log4javascript?)

About the Firefox console, it is possible to display messages in the JavaScript console but not without changing some user preferences (sorry, I don't have the links to hand), so I decided not to include it in log4javascript. It would, however, be simple to write an appender that does that.

Ok thank you for your answer. Perhaps with Firebug plugin (Firebug logging support), I could log my messages.
Angelo
Certainly - the latest version (1.3) has explicit support for logging to FireBug.
