I added a Builder to the ServletAppender, deprecated the factory method,
and added a new option:
/**
* Logs with {@link ServletContext#log(String, Throwable)} if true
and with {@link ServletContext#log(String)} if false.
*
* @return whether to log a Throwable with the servlet context.
*/
public boolean isLogThrowables() {
return logThrowables;
}
