Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-598:
-------------------------------------
Let's start off by saying that Ralph has done a great job writing all of this
in the first place.
Having done some work on some appenders, I do agree that converting Strings to
booleans and ints is tiresome, error prone and feels weird.
> Support more data types in plugin attributes

> Key: LOG4J2-598
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-598
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Labels: annotations, plugins
>
> Currently, annotating plugin factory method parameters with
> {{@PluginAttribute}} only supports String types, but we use a lot of plugin
> attributes that could be automatically converted to primitive types. Now I'm
> not suggesting something as advanced as how Camel handles parameter injection
> (which does automatic non-trivial type conversion), but it would be great to
> support booleans, ints, longs, etc., to simplify quite a bit of extraneous
> string parsing.
