This is where the NDC would be useful.
In Class 2:
NDC.push("Class 2");
In Class 1:
NDC.push("Class 1");
Then when you are ready to log a message:
log.debug("Message");
The NDC entries will be available via the LoggingEvent that is send to
the appender, so if you configure an appender to actually output the
contents of the NDC, you'll be able to see it. (see things like
PatternLayout on how to explicitly request NDC to be output in the
appender). NDC acts as a Stack for each Thread of execution, so it
retains the order of push/pop.
Don't forget to NDC.pop() at the end of each method where you
NDC.push(...)..
cheers,
Paul Smith
