I am using XMLSocketAppender and have a problem using it.

I have a client listens on a port and prints logging messages. Seding logging messages to client using XMLSocketAppender. Strangely, first LOG4CXX_INFO from logging program is received properly at client (which is waiting with accept system call) but not subsequent. I am pasting config file, client file and actual program for reference. I searched thru mailing lists, but similar problem was not faced by anyone before.

Config:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, SOCK

log4j.appender.SOCK=org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketAppender
log4j.appender.SOCK.RemoteHost=10.232.15.31
log4j.appender.SOCK.Port=9000
log4j.appender.SOCK.LocationInfo=false

Actual program:

int main()
{
    int result = EXIT_SUCCESS;
    try
    {
                PropertyConfigurator::configure(LOG4CXX_FILE("socket.properties"));
                LoggerPtr logger=Logger::getLogger("SOCK");

                LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "info message");  ---> this message is received at remote machine
                LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "info message1"); ----> from here on, no message is received
                LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "info message2");
                LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "info message3");
                LOG4CXX_WARN(logger, "warn message");
                LOG4CXX_ERROR(logger, "error message");
                LOG4CXX_FATAL(logger, "fatal message");
        }
        catch(std::exception&)
        {
                result = EXIT_FAILURE;
        }

    return result;
}

Client program:

while(1){
sin_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
if((newsockfd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&their_addr, (socklen_t*)(&sin_size))) == -1){
        perror("accept");
        }
     n = read(newsockfd,buffer,255);
     if (n < 0) perror("ERROR reading from socket");
     cout<<buffer<<endl;
     fputs(buffer,pFile);

}

Output:

45           if (n < 0) perror("ERROR reading from socket");
(gdb)
48           cout<<buffer<<endl;
(gdb)
<log4j:event logger="SOCK" timestamp="1176053349150" level="INFO" thread="0xb75df3a0">

</log4j:event>

(gdb) n

(gdb)
40      if((newsockfd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&their_addr, (socklen_t*)(&sin_size))) == -1){
(gdb)

----> waited a long here and pressed Ctrl+c

The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
