[log4perl-devel] logging to socket server using log4cpp and log4perl

[<Fp...@ao...>]

I'm writing an application that uses both Perl and C/C++. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to use the same C/C++ socket server for both log4cplus and log4perl socket appender to write log messages to?  I want to have both log4perl and log4cpp socket appenders to write to the same socket server.  

I noticed that log4perl simply sends the log message, formatted according to pattern layout, to the listening server.  However, the log4cpp socket appender seems to format the log message differently.  The message is not a simple text string.

I was wondering if anyone has gotten the socket appender from log4cpp and log4perl to work together using the same socket server?

Check out this FAQ on how to hook up Log4perl to the Chainsaw appender, 
it explains how to get the Log4j formatting in:

     http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/d/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.html#ec4ff

Also, please note that if several sources are writing to the same socket 
appender, your messages might get mingled. Use a semaphore or similar 
mechanism to synchronize.
