Re: org.apache.logging.log4j.EventLogger

It takes a StructuredDataMessage because that is what I was using for Audit logging. To be honest, with the audit logging framework the user doesn’t even interact with the Message. The attributes of the Audit event are then placed into the StructuredDataMessage and then the RFC5424 formatted mes

>From what I can grok, it looks like a way to log map-like messages in a way that's specified by the new syslog standard. Basically, if you're not using RFC 5424, it does seem confusing. On 16 September 2015 at 10:45, Gary Gregory wrote: > What is the point of this class? It does so little... wh

What is the point of this class? It does so little... what am I missing? Some better Javadocs are required to justify its existence IMO. Gary -- E-Mail: [email protected] | [email protected] Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition JUnit in Action,
