Curt Arnold commented on LOG4J2-19: ----------------------------------- The pattern parsing is a specialized form of configuration and should be consistent with the overall approach to configuration, with support for the pattern syntax being a specialized configurator. Instead of getKeys(), it sounds like the default mapping of keys to classes could be done with class attributes. > Provide looser coupling of PatternConverters > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-19 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-19 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Layouts > Reporter: Ralph Goers > > Currently, PatternLayout calls PatternParser which knows about the various > PatternConverters, many of which are imbedded in it. This makes it difficult > for users to add their own Converters. > In the logging framework I created each converter identified the conversion > characters it supported. Each PatternConverter was required to supply a > getKeys() method that returned this list. The equivalent of the PatternLayout > contained an array of PatternConverters. During initialization each of these > would be called and the list of keys recorded along with the associated > converter. To add your own converter all that was necessary was to extend the > class and add your new keys to the list of recorded keys along with their > converters. The base PatternLayout would then take care of calling the > correct converters as necessary. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
