Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-598:
------------------------------------
Something I think would be neat later on would be more injection support.
Instead of a static factory method, allow factory classes where the @PluginFoo
annotations can be used on setters, constructors, or fields, and then a factory
(or builder) method is executed after all the relevant objects are injected.
This would of course take a lot more work than the current method, so this is
somewhat a longer term idea.
> Support more data types in plugin attributes

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Minor
> 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.
