Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1171:
-------------------------------------
Would it be okay to add a method to the ContextSelector interface?
Something like
{code}
LoggerContext getContext(String fqcn, ClassLoader loader, boolean
currentContext, URI configLocation, String name);
// where name is passed to the LoggerContext constructor
{code}
One alternative is to set/modify the LoggerContext name after it is
constructed. (It is currently a final field without a setter.)
Another alternative would be to create a new interface that subclasses
ContextSelector and add the above new method to this interface.
{{Log4jContextFactory.getContext}} would check the type of the selector and
cast to the new interface to call the new method where possible.

> Key: LOG4J2-1171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1171
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configurators, JMX
> Affects Versions: 2.3, 2.4, 2.4.1
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Priority: Minor
>
> LoggerContext names currently look like "5e90b76c", or
> "AsyncContext@5e90b76c". Originally the LoggerContext name was
> ClassLoader.toString(), but this had issues for very long multi-line
> classloader descriptions (LOG4J2-666).
> The problem with the current naming is that a web container with multiple web
> applications deployed will not be able to determine which of the Log4j2 JMX
> MBeans maps to which web application. Similarly, debug-level status messages
> at startup cannot be mapped to the correct web app.
> The place to address this is probably {{Log4jContextFactory.getContext(String
> fqcn, ClassLoader loader, Object externalContext, boolean currentContext, URI
> configLocation, String name)}}.
> The specified name is currently ignored.
