I'm looking at the log4j 2 's thread specific features and had a question. In
my code I set an id as follows:
ThreadContext.put( "id" , "Main" );
and attempt to reference it in my configuration file as shown below:
< File name = "File" fileName = "/tmp/myLog.log" >
< PatternLayout pattern = "%X{id} %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} -
%msg ${ctx:id} %n" />
</ File >
If I use the lookup in the pattern layout to test it, it works fine. However,
if I move that lookup to the fileName attribute in the line above, the
replacement doesn't occur (my file ends up being named /tmp/${ctx.id}.log for
example). Is that a limitation of that lookup or am I missing something? Any
insight that can be provided is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Michael T Minella
