Hi Ralph,
I cant understand where the hook for the PatternConverter would be.
My override is:
private void tryAppend(final LogEvent event) throws ExecutionException,
InterruptedException, TimeoutException {
final Layout<? extends Serializable> layout = getLayout();
String logMessage = (String)layout.toSerializable(event);
BuildProperties buildProperties =
(BuildProperties)
AppContext.getApplicationContext().getBean(BuildProperties.class);
LogViewerDao logViewerDao = new LogViewerDao(buildProperties, event,
logMessage);
manager.send(logViewerDao.toJson().getBytes());
}
The 2.10 version has:
private void tryAppend(final LogEvent event) throws ExecutionException,
InterruptedException, TimeoutException {
final Layout<? extends Serializable> layout = getLayout();
byte[] data;
if (layout instanceof SerializedLayout) {
final byte[] header = layout.getHeader();
final byte[] body = layout.toByteArray(event);
data = new byte[header.length + body.length];
System.arraycopy(header, 0, data, 0, header.length);
System.arraycopy(body, 0, data, header.length, body.length);
} else {
data = layout.toByteArray(event);
}
manager.send(data);
}
Even here the layout is resolved and directly after that sent to the
KafkaManager.
In my version I need some action between where the layout data is embedded as
an attribute in another object;
Kind Regards,
Buks

If you need to wrap the message then you should create a pattern converter.
