The current log4cxx serialized LoggingEvent is not binary compatible  
with log4j, this is reported as  
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-7.

Chainsaw can be used with the XMLSocketAppender.

It would be preferable to make log4cxx's (and log4net) serialized form  
to be compatible with log4j.  It has been a long desired enhancement,  
but pretty far done on my to-do list.  If anyone wants to analyze  
log4j's serialized form, it would be a great help, but actual  
implementation would probably be best deferred until the Unicode and  
Location related changes are complete.
