Mark,
There is not an ounce of doubt that you understand log4j filters. We have come a long way once you started looking into filters. Thank you! The only beef I have is with the name ChainableFilterBase. I have not seen your code so there is a good chance than I am overlooking some aspects. In any case we can correct things later on if need be. :-) At 21:37 06.06.2002 -0700, Mark Womack wrote: >I just want to make clear that I DO UNDERSTAND that filters, by their nature >and implementation in log4j, are chainable, etc. I think this aspect is not >fully understood by many of the log4j users, so I am trying to create a base >class that exposes this functionality in a way that helps in the >understanding, while also creating a set of useful filters. > >Just so it is clear.
