Hi, I wanted to point a struggle I had recently working with stripes interceptors to see if anybody had any suggestions.
I was trying to generate unique transaction code for every web request into my application and then assign it to the MDC (mapped diaganostic context) such that the transaction code, and username (if available) appears in every log messag associated with (all) processing for that request. The transaction code is something I report to users if there is a problem and then I can use it when I go through logs later to learn more about what happened. I couldn't figure out an easy with do this with stripes interceptors that also guaranteed that the MDC is still populated during execution of my top level exception handler (which is one of the places I report the transaction code). I prefer not logging the same exception multiple times, I so rely on my top level exception handler to be the single point where I log most unrecoverable exceptions and I want the MDC information available in that log entry. I tried generating the transaction code and loading the MDC by intercepting RequestInit and then clear the MDC by intercepting RequestComplete but that clears the MDC to soon in the case of an Exception. I solved this problem in a very simple way by doing my own filter that runs ahead of stripes. I'm perfectly happy with this solution and maybe this really isn't a stripes problem at all. Still, I thought I would ask. Interceptors are a such a powerful feature, I was suprised I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted. -- Ross Sargant Software Engineer p: 954-571-2017 x2108 email: rsarg...@tvrc.com TVR Communications LLC 3275 W Hillsboro Blvd,Suite 300,Deerfield Beach, Florida,33442 http://www.tvrc.com
