----------------------------------
Summary: Support composite configurations
Key: LOG4J2-494
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-494
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Configurators
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
Reporter: Ralph Goers
Support was added to XMLConfiguration to allow XIncludes in the XML files.
While this can be useful it does not allow for the use case where someone wants
a default configuration and then a custom configuration to be merged with it.
I am proposing creating a CompositeConfiguration class that accepts a comma
separated list of configuration files. It would then use the Configuration
factories to create the appropriate Configuration classes for each of the
underlying files. It would then merge the Node hierarchies created by each
into a single tree and then finally construct the actual configuration Objects
from that tree.
There are a few issues with this - for example each configuration can specify
debug and verbose attributes, duplicate property settings, handling duplicate
Appender names, etc. Most of these should be fairly easy to resolve.
