Hello, I would like to propose and contribute a couple of relatively minor features to the current code base, but am not finding any documentation as to how I should go about getting the features approved and then submitting the patch. Could someone point me to the right doc or let me know what I should do in order to have the following included in the soonest release possible:
1. Being able to specify a wrapper-class for the log4JLogger Logger. For example, in the Avalon framework there is a Log4JLogger class which wraps a real log4j logger, and all calls are delegated via the Avalon logger. This makes the conversion characters %C, %F, %L, %l, and %M useless as they always resolve to the same class and line number, i.e. the Avalon Log4JLogger wrapper-class is always the caller. It's a trivial fix to allow the user to specify the wrapper-class in the properties file and programatically, in order to identify the existence of such a wrapper class. It is possible to work-around this by using a custom Logger and overiding the forcedLog method, but it seems that this is general enough to be included in the main code base. 2. Being able to specify ConversionPattern PER logging Level. The docs make it very clear that some conversion chars (esp. the ones listed above) are very expensive and should be avoided. However, some of them can also be very useful while debugging, so it would make very good sense to be able to specify one detailed ConversionPattern for the DEBUG logging Level, and one generic, less-expensive pattern for the normal INFO logging, for example.
