Log4j handles this by capturing the fully qualified class name of the logging adapter. Obviously, this doesn’t work if the adapter doesn’t pass Log4j the FQCN, but it does work for the adapters we support. That said, it is very slow to capture this and is probably the biggest pain point. Log4j recommends not capturing this information in production environments because it is so slow. Unfortunately, it seems to have gotten even slower in Java 9+. In an ideal world we would be able to capture the caller information at compile time but Java provides no good way to do this. Wouldn’t it be great if I could just code something like logger.error(_CallerInfo_, “hello”) and the compiler would provide the caller info data structure that was generated by the compiler?
FWIW, I do plan to add the module information to the caller information provided with Log4j but just haven’t gotten to it. You are more than welcome to provide a patch.
