http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38174 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-19 05:38 ------- As William noted, the use of String.valueOf(msg) on the input object to avoid exceptions has significant implications. Suppose a user passes a custom MessageRecord object as the parameter, and then has a custom Log4J Renderer which takes this object and builds a string out of it in some clever way. By forcing the message parameter to a string at the JCL level, that breaks the code completely. Boris makes the point that if someone is doing this then they really should be using log4j directly, not JCL, because that won't work if JCL is bound to anything other than log4j. Nevertheless, I'm inclined to avoid introding such breakage in this release, and make a note of that point for JCL2, where we could potentially state that all "rendering" of the message object is done by JCL for consistency. Currently, 1.1 is very close to being backwards compatible and I would prefer to keep it that way. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
