Description

Can anyone please explain how to add a new(custom) appender..?
here is my code it did not work..

@Plugin(name = "EM_Appender", category = "Core", elementType = "appender", printObject = true)
public final class EventManagerAppender extends AbstractAppender{

protected EventManagerAppender(String name, Filter filter, Layout<? extends Serializable> layout,
boolean ignoreExceptions)

{ super(name, filter, layout, ignoreExceptions); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub }

/* @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
private EventManagerAppender(String name, Layout layout, Filter filter,
boolean ignoreExceptions) {

}*/

@PluginFactory
public static EventManagerAppender createAppender(@PluginAttribute("name") String name,
@PluginAttribute("ignoreExceptions") String ignore,
@PluginElement("Layout") Layout layout,
@PluginElement("Filters") Filter filter) {

boolean ignoreExceptions = Boolean.parseBoolean(ignore);
if (name == null)

{ return null; }

if (layout == null)

{ layout = PatternLayout.createLayout(null, null, null, null, ignore, ignore); }

return new EventManagerAppender(name, filter,layout, ignoreExceptions);
}

public void append(LogEvent event)

{ System.out.println(event.getMessage()); System.out.println("Custome appender"); }

}
