Par for the course, I am responding to my own post . . .

Hello All,
I am looking at upgrading from 0.9.4 to 0.9.7, specifically to take
advantage of all the great file upload capabilities that have been
implemented. I have two questions that have come up:
* From the looks of CVS, there may be another release coming very
soon. Is there an estimated time when 0.9.8 will be coming out?
* If 0.9.8 is far away (more than two weeks), then I think I have
an issue with the submission handlers. It seems that even the
most trivial of forms will not submit successfully using a plain
0.9.7 install. I have been working with just the hello.xhtml
example, and cannot get it to submit successfully. I am on
Tomcat 4.1.30 with jdk 1.4.2_04, and I moved the dom3 stuff to
common/endorsed as the instructions explained. I noticed right
away that the example xforms did not update their xml:base
element to point to chiba-0.9.7, and also that the xslt files
like html4.xsl were also not pointing at chiba-0.9.7 in their
action url parameter. After fixing these things, I still cannot
get a successfull submission. Which led me to a third issue:
* How do you enable debugging / logging for chiba without
modifying the entire tomcat log4j setup. I did what I
understand to be the correct thing and modified the
/webapps/chiba-0.9.7/WEB-INF/log4j.xml to append where I
wanted. This had two effects, first it set the appender for the
entire tomcat to wherever the root appender in this log4j config
file points, and secondly it still did not pass the debug
parameter to the html4.xsl. Any pointers on how to best see
what is going on under the hood of chiba?
Debugging is standard log4j stuff, and a little more research helped
clear this up. The log4j.xml that comes with chiba only has a
definition for the root logger. Tomcat uses the apache commons logging
facility, and therefore any log4j configuration that modifies the root
logger will modify it for the entire tomcat instance. To enable logging
for just chiba, I introduced a new logger using the following snippet
into my log4j.xml in chiba-0.9.7/WEB-INF/log4j.xml ABOVE the root
configuration section:
<logger name="org.chiba">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="SHELL"/>
</logger>
That gave me a nice stream of nothing but chiba debugging to my SHELL
log appender, which is what I was looking for. I am now hopefully able
to track down my submission errors, more on that later. I realize that
this is probably all trivial stuff to most java developer folks, but
just in case there are some other less experienced users out there I
figured it was worth a post.
