Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-36:
-----------------------------------
Log4j 2 was modified so that wherever filtering is allowed only a single Filter
is used. However, the Filter may be a composite filter that contains other
filters.
> Appender interface should be refactored

> Key: LOG4J2-36

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Appenders
> Reporter: Curt Arnold
>
> The Appender interface in log4j 1.2 (carried over in the rgoers contribution)
> requires an implementation to not only define its distinctive logging
> destination also but also a composite filter (the addFilter(), getFilter(),
> getFilters() method). Because of that almost all custom appenders in log4j
> 1.2 extend from AppenderSkeleton to inherit the implementation of composite
> filter. The appender interface should be refactored so it contains a
> reference to a generic Filter (which may or may not be a composite filter)
> and a Channel (or whatever we want to call the bit that makes one appender
> different from another).
