Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-598:
------------------------------------
Injected into what? Today they are all passed as parameters to the factory
method. It then creates the actual instance. You can't inject until the object
is created and today these are all passed as constructor arguments so they can
be declared final.
> 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
> 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.
