Chainsaw Location Info

At present, when a socket appender with locationInfo = true, e.g. 

log4j.appender.Chainsaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=4560
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.locationInfo=true

is used to write to Chainsaw v2, the client get's a 

log4j:WARN Detected problem with connection: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error

and a 

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.spi.LocationInfo

will be seen in the Chainsaw log window

Workaround

Set the locationInfo to false or write the log to a file and have Chainsaw tail that.

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-user&m=109537273531808&w=2 for details but note that the ordering of the appenders failed to fix it for me, too.

SocketHubAppender

I get the same problem with the SocketHubAppender. I tried to set locationInfo to false but I'm still getting the error. Any idea why?

So I keep trying out different things... I tried using a SocketAppender with locationInfo set to false and I get the error anyway, even if the previous message says it would be ok.

I'm seeing a XMLSocketReceiver when I click to create a new Receiver in Chainsaw, but I don't see a XMLSocketAppender in the Log4J Javadoc. Is this something new that hasn't been released yet to Log4J? Is there a way to get the appender and use it? Is there a XMLSocketHubAppender too?
