Brian,
The issue with this proposal is that it takes away the administrators
ability to control whether stack traces are provided or not. The reason we
used 'isDebugEnabled' was because that was the use case in which the stack
trace was necessary (because they were debugging). Given that you can edit
logback config on the fly this seems like a reasonable approach. But taking
away their ability to control this as the effect of this proposal means they're
getting the stack traces whether they want them or not. This can cause very
excessive and noisy output in the logs.
Do you have an alternative proposal for how we can retain the flexibility
of letting the administrator toggle the stack traces?
Thanks
Joe
