Opening existing log file in apache chainsaw

is it possible to open an existing log file generated by log4j in my j2ee application using apache chainsaw, without using any special configurations?

I am not sure how to do this.

Thanks, Ayusman

Yes, use the latest developer snapshot of Apache Chainsaw, available here: http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

When the Chainsaw configuration dialog is displayed, choose the 'process a log file' option, click the 'open file' link to browse to your log file and then change the 'log file format' to MESSAGE (you can specify a complete format, but this will at least get your messages into Chainsaw quickly).

For information on how to specify the format completely, see the VFSLogFilePatternReceiver javadoc here: http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/vfs/VFSLogFilePatternReceiver.html
