Re: extending log4j Logger class? How to?

[Donald Larmee | ALTERthought]

if you can pack all of the data you would like to log into one wrapper 
object, I would look into using an ObjectRenderer to do what you suggest. i.e.,

   logger.debug(new MyLogObject(String,byte[], Document), Throwable);

You would then provide an ObjectRenderer that undertands how to handle a 
MyLogObject...etc...

-d

I would like to debug more than just a string so would it make sense to 
extend the Log4J Logger?

eg.  let say, i'd like to have the following interface

         Logger.debug( String, byte[], Document, Throwable)

I can certainly use a wrapper pattern (see below) but would have to make 
massive changes to my code.

public class MyLogger {
   public MyLogger (Logger log4jLogger) {}
}
So the alternative is,  I tried to extend the Logger Class but is unsure 
how to get the LoggerFactory to return MyLogger instead of Logger class.

Is there an easier way to accomplish this ?

Thanks.
