Need to override the Append method of the KafkaAppender

[Buks van der Lingen]

Hi,
I have a need to wrap the message created by the PatternLayout assigned to my 
KafkaAppender and pass that to the KafkaManager.

The wrapper contains Spring-Boot environment/Build and other properties.

The KafkaManager is private in the appender and I can’t get around the 
implementation at append();
For now I duplicated the KafkaAppender and just added the functionality I need 
in append();

If anyone has a better idea pls advise?

Kind Regards,
Buks
