--- Comment #3 from Curt Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-08-14 08:37:34 PST --- I think your situation might be better addressed by a combination of LogMF from the extras companion (with possible enhancements for deferring construction of messages that require evaluating Object.toString()), the long dormant MultiFileAppender project and use of message objects that can delay evaluation until message formatting. Those should not require changes to the core log4j API and should offer similar performance to your approach. If your performance issue is the unnecessary evaluation of functions in the message parameter, you can delay those evaluations until message layout time by passing a class whose toString() evaluates the expensive function. private static class LogIndexEvaluator { private final MyClass obj; public LogIndexEvaluator(MyClass o) { if (o == null) { throw NullPointerException(); } obj = o; } public String toString() { return String.valueOf(o.logIndex()); } } .... if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug(new LogIndexEvaluator(this)); } Construction of a small short lived object is pretty inexpensive in modern JVM's. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
