/**
   A simple {@link NumberCruncher} implementation that logs its
   progress when factoring numbers. The purpose of the whole exercise
   is to show the use of nested diagnostic contexts in order to
   distinguish the log output from different client requests.

   
   Usage: java org.apache.log4j.examples.NumberCruncherServer configFile
          where configFile is a log4j configuration file.
   
We supply a simple config file factor.lcf for directing log output to the file factor.log.

Try it yourself by starting a NumberCruncherServer and make queries from multiple {@link NumberCruncherClient NumberCruncherClients} to factor numbers.

Sample output shows the log output when two clients connect to the server near simultaneously.

See source code of NumberCruncherServer for more details.

Note that class files for the example code is not included in any of the distributed log4j jar files. You will have to add the directory /dir-where-you-unpacked-log4j/classes to your classpath before trying out the examples. */ public class NumberCruncherServer extends UnicastRemoteObject implements NumberCruncher { static Category cat = Category.getInstance( NumberCruncherServer.class.getName()); public NumberCruncherServer() throws RemoteException { } public int[] factor(int number) throws RemoteException { // The client's host is an important source of information. try { NDC.push(this.getClientHost()); } catch(java.rmi.server.ServerNotActiveException e) { // we are being called from same VM NDC.push("localhost"); } // The information contained within the request is another source of // distinctive information.
