NAME

Log::Log4perl::JavaMap - maps java log4j appenders to Log::Dispatch classes

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

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

These should/will/might be implemented

RollingFileAppender - 
DailyRollingFileAppender - 
SMTPAppender     - Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender

SyslogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Syslog

These might be implemented but they don't have corresponding classes in Log::Dispatch (yet):

NullAppender
NTEventLogAppender
SocketAppender
TelnetAppender

These might be simulated

LF5Appender - use Tk?
JDBCAppender - using DBI?
ExternallyRolledFileAppender - catch a HUP instead?

These will probably not be implemented

AsyncAppender
JMSAppender
SocketHubAppender
