Hi Friends,
I am new to WebSphere Message Broker Technology 
In our project they told me to implement logging using Log4j..
I just go through the support pack and some of the issues discussed here about Log4j.. I got the solution what I want..
But still I am in confuse what is the main advantage of using Log4j Node in the flow instead of Trace Node or FileOutPut Node.. please help me  |

Here is a rough approach. Understand that it is not exhaustive, more like a pot shot in the dark...
- The same advantage you'd be getting from java.logging.* over a simple file.
- The Trace node will either write to a file or the system log.
The Trace node will not give you any coverage information unless you have it in the environment tree and print that tree.
- The file node may become unwieldy if you end up writing a file per invocation... and will require a lot of extra wiring...
Have fun

Really, you can't append to a file using FileOutput.
I mean, you can, but the file isn't "ready" until you've closed it.
So it's a poor choice in general for logging purposes. |
