Hello John,
The properties are picked up automatically. Are you saying that the
property names are unknown in logback.xml?
If you can write
<appender name="theCustomAppender" class="domian.TheCustomAppender">
<properties class="java.util.Properties">
<property name="thisPropertyName" value="value" />
</properties>
</appender>
you can also write
<appender name="theCustomAppender" class="domian.TheCustomAppender">
<thisPropertyName>value</thisPropertyName>
</appender>
The second form would work just fine as long as "thisPropertyName" has a
setter.

Hi,
I have developed a custom appender for logback and would like to
configure it with a generic set of Properties that I can pass on to the
underlying libraries. Rather than create a Getter and Setter for each
property that the underlying library uses, I would like the
configuration to read the *names* of the properties out of the logback
configuration file.
Instead of this:
<configuration>
<appender name="theCustomAppender" class="domian.TheCustomAppender">
<getterSetterProperty>value</getterSetterProperty>
</appender>
</configuration>
I would like to write something like this:
<configuration>
<appender name="theCustomAppender" class="domian.TheCustomAppender">
<properties class="java.util.Properties">
<property name="thisPropertyName" value="value" />
</properties>
</appender>
</configuration>
Does the Joran Configurator have the capability to parse a configuration
file, generate a Properties object, and then hand it off to the Appender?
I have looked around and have not been able to identify any guidance for
this use case. I have discovered the nested element capability and the
"class" attribute, but have not been able to build a mapped structure.
The north-west wind does feel a bit chilly, right now... :-)
Thanks,
John Page
