Thanks Yair

That will work for log4j.

Don't see any equivalent in commons-logging .. any thoughts there anyone?

Maybe I'm missing something in the API but I don't see API support for
associating a unique (e.g. numeric) identifier to a message.

Unique message identifiers are useful in production systems to allow:

  * Easy message identification irrespective of localization
  * A key on which JIRA or knowledge base issues can be based
  * A key from which automated management actions can be triggered

The best I can think of is embedding such an identifier in a message, e.g.
"[#2506] System has a headache".

How have others dealt with this need?

Are there any additional logging libraries that can help deal with this
issue or any other relevant works that may be of interest?

thanks for your input, David
