It looks like I can get location info and MDC on an XMLSocketAppender
if I use an XML configuration as follows to override the default
XMLLayout, but you cannot do the same with a property file
configuration:
<appender name="xmlsocket" class="org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketAppender">
<param name="RemoteHost" value="localhost"/>
<param name="Port" value="4448"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.XMLLayout">
<param name="properties" value="true"/>
<param name="locationinfo" value="true"/>
</layout>
</appender>
