David, Your question is more appropriate for the log4j-user email list.
Have you looked into using the MDC to store the session id? You can then output the current sessionid as part of the message. The stock pattern layout uses the %X escape sequence to print out MDC key/value pairs. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: David Siegel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2003 5:02 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Newbie - Basic Question > > > > Hello > > I've been playing with log4j quite a bit and have developed an Object > Renderer and my own XML Layout for some custom information. > However, I am > wondering if there is a SIMPLER way to add an additional > element, such as a > session ID to the basic XML Layout.
