Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-623:
-------------------------------------
I like this latest marker representation. It's easy to read and terse. I'm sure
there's a way to do that in Jackson. It is quite powerful now that I've spent
some time with it.
Let do this: I'll commit what I have now which works with all tests passing.
This gives us Jackson based XML and JSON _listeners and layouts_.
Then we can fiddle with each little element and attribute until we settle upon
a final representation.
My goals here are:
- Add XML and JSON listeners to Log4j 2.
- Find the easiest way to make sure that layouts and listeners are in sync.
Jackson is great way to do this.
- Stay away from writing low-level XML/DOM code and JSON parsing code. This
would be a lot of code to maintain and forget keeping the layouts and listeners
easily in sync.
> Better structure of Thread Context Map in JSONLayout

> Key: LOG4J2-623
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-623
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Layouts
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Mikael Ståldal
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0-rc2
>
>
> Currently, the Thread Context Map looks like this in JSONLayout:
> {code:JavaScript|title=Current}
> "Properties":[
> {
> "name":"UserName",
> "value":"admin"
> },
> {
> "name":"OrgName",
> "value":"test"
> }
> ]
> {code}
> This does not properly make use of the JSON data format. Since the Thread
> Context Map is a map, it should be represented as a JSON object. And why not
> name it "mdc" rather than the quite vauge "Properties"?
> {code:JavaScript|title=Suggested}
> "mdc": {
> "UserName":"admin",
> "OrgName":"test"
> }
> {code}
