hi all

i'm starting a new java project at work, and really very much referencing an older project written by someone else (as i studied java four years ago, and that was the last time i actually did any programming with it), so i'm just catching up now

anyway, the application (web) uses tapestry, and hibernate 3, log4j (1.2.xx) for logging, mssql server for the db

this new project i'm working on requires some logging to go directly to the database

i've looked this up on the log4j site, and am able to log a basic message to the database using jdbcappender

i want to do something a bit more complex though, and parse the message that gets logged, so that i can store the message appropriately

i've looked up, and read the info on http://www.hibernate.org/97.html

but i'm not really sure how to implement this
i've tried exactly the same code, but with implementing class files for the interfaces (the methods have no bodies), but i get a class not found exception when i try to test it out (the .class file is there, and it's a part of the package)


can anyone offer some advice?

thanks
dave
