Hm, I can see having an API that let's in custom "int" levels would satisfy some cases. But why not consider adding more built-in levels? See the thread on the ML.
Apache HTTPD 2.2 has 8 levels: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#loglevel Apache HTTPD 2.2 has 16 levels: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#loglevel On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 1:47 PM, Paul Benedict (JIRA) <[email protected]>wrote: > > [ > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-41?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13614354#comment-13614354] > > Paul Benedict commented on LOG4J2-41: > ------------------------------------- > > I don't support departing from Java enums.
