http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34996 Summary: Appender.requiresLayout should be restored Product: Log4j Version: 1.3alpha Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Appender AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Appender.requiresLayout was removed in v 1.13 (2004/11/15) with the comment "The requiresLayout method is no longer used or needed". The semantics of the method was questioned in: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=107335136020370&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=108462510611389&w=2 Basically, though the method was called "requiresLayout", the JavaDoc was more consistent with "acceptsLayout". However, the number of appenders where that makes a difference should be fairly small. My proposal is to restore Appender.requiresLayout and change the JavaDoc to be consistent with the name. Concrete appenders appear to still have their implementation hanging around. Though the configuration code no longer makes use of this property, it is conceivable that client code called this method and the cost of restoring it is low. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
