Subject: Re: Using Layouts with JMSAppender

the layout in your log4j.properties is irrelevant to JMSAppender,  
since it is sending the serialized version of the LoggingEvent.

In short, your MDB won't know what the layout is unless you tell it  
because that information is not sent along the wire during the JMS  
communication.
