Hi Paul,
Yes, that is certainly better.
However, I am still not satisfied with the current solution (or lack thereof) to the
extension problem mainly due to its complexity. I think a new approach is in order.
Here is what I have in mind:
1) Add a HashTable field to LoggingEvent.
2) Let Appenders populate this HashTable with appropriate keys and values.
3) Allow the serialization of this Hashtable field and its contents along with the
rest of the LoggingEvent.
4) Let servers print the values in the Hashtable as they see fit.
