I think I've lost the point of this discussion somewhere. The subject
says something about submitting events remotely yet this discussion
seems to be totally about serialization. If it is really about
something like a "service" to submit events than I would suggest
looking at Spring remoting and some of the protocols it supports -
such as Hessian or Burlap. I would argue that a discussion about how
best to serialize an object is pointless without having first decided
on what the service API is. For example, are you presuming that one
system will log to an Appender that will forward to a server that will
turn around and log the event again? Or perhaps an Appender would just
forward the event to an Appender on the remote system? Or, using
Spring Remoting one could imagine that the local Appender is just a
client stub generated by Spring forwarding to the "real" Appender
somewhere else.
I think the reason was that I asked Jörn to share his experiences with
the appenders in Lilith and that I could not understand his conclusion :)
What I am trying to get to is a simple way to "magically" transport a
logging event from one instance of logback to another, where it would be
processed with filters etc as any other event originated on the instance
itself. The platform agnosticity implies that Java serialization is not
trivial to use, hence the discussion with Jörn...
Would Spring Remoting imply that Java is required?
