I did not mean that this is a must. I thought it is up to the implementor of
FileNameBuilder what she wants to do with the configured filename. That's why I
suggested to pass also the calling appender as parameter to buildFileName().

If I get you right: You want to close the file dependent on the presence (or
absence) of a certain MDC value? I think it's better to leave this also to the
implementor of FileNameBuilder. If he wants to work with MDC, ok. But he is
still free for using any other criterias as well.
