/**
 * The output of the XMLLayout consists of a series of log4j:event
 * elements as defined in the log4j.dtd. It does not output a
 * complete well-formed XML file. The output is designed to be
 * included as an external entity in a separate file to form
 * a correct XML file.
 *
 * 

For example, if abc is the name of the file where * the XMLLayout ouput goes, then a well-formed XML file would be: *

   <?xml version="1.0" ?>
 
  <!DOCTYPE log4j:eventSet SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" [<!ENTITY data SYSTEM "abc">]>
 
  <log4j:eventSet version="1.2" xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
 	  &data;
  </log4j:eventSet>
  
*

This approach enforces the independence of the XMLLayout and the * appender where it is embedded. * *

The version attribute helps components to correctly * intrepret output generated by XMLLayout. The value of this * attribute should be "1.1" for output generated by log4j versions * prior to log4j 1.2 (final release) and "1.2" for relase 1.2 and * later. * * @author Ceki Gülcü * @since 0.9.0 * */ public class XMLLayout extends Layout { private final int DEFAULT_SIZE = 256; private final int UPPER_LIMIT = 2048; private StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(DEFAULT_SIZE); private boolean locationInfo = false; /** * The LocationInfo option takes a boolean value.
