             Summary: JNDI Lookup plugin support
                 Key: LOG4J2-313
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-313
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Woonsan Ko
             Fix For: 2.0-beta9


Currently, Lookup plugins [1] don't support JNDI resources.
It would be really convenient to support JNDI resource lookup in the 
configuration.

One use case with JNDI lookup plugin is as follows:
  I'd like to use RoutingAppender [2] to put all the logs from the same web 
application context in a log file  (a log file per web application context).
And, I want to use JNDI resources look up to determine the target route 
(similarly to JNDI context selector of logback [3]).

Determining the target route by JNDI lookup can be advantageous because we 
don't have to add any code to set properties for the thread context and JNDI 
lookup should always work even in a separate thread without copying thread 
context variables.
