Hello,
I´am currently developing an Appender for use with Lotus Domino R5.x. I
would like some advice regarding how Log4j-users / administrators may
configure it. The fields that this Appender will use in Domino databases,
must be configurable with the standard PropertyConfigurator (or my
DominoConfigurator, but uses a Domino database as source).
I do not want to hardwire the "field names" as setters in the Appender, like
"setMessageField", "setSourceField" etc. I want to have a method that takes
the remote field as the first argument, and a PatternLayout pattern, like:
setField("Message", "%m")
setField("Date", "%d")
, and in the configuration file:
log4j.appender.domino.field=Message, %m
log4j.appender.domino.field=Date, %d
The DominoAppender will use the PatternParser and PatternConverter to handle
these settings.
Is this "the right way" of doing things? Am I thinking right? A simple yes
or no is quite enough for me right now. :-) Anyone who have tried this
successfully with other types of Appenders?
Anyone interested in this "Dominopackage", so it could be added as a
"contribution" to Log4j?
Regards,
Johan Känngård - "Another newbie in the open source community"
