Re: [Quickfixj-users] Unable to route quickfixj.events to log via Log4j (over SLF4J)

[Xiau W. T. <tx...@gm...>]

Reverted to 2.0.0, does not work. In fact, we absolutely must use 2.1 since
we rely on the new rawString method.

If you were the one implementing, how would you do it? The requirement is
simple. I want to route all event messages regardless of session into a
daily rolling file using Log4j.
