Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-555:
------------------------------------
Interesting! I see the difficulty now: apps may call a method in the subclass
or in AbstractLogger, so any stacktrace-walking should work for both.
If custom loggers _must_ use the {{log(Marker, String, Level, Message,
Throwable)}} method, {{AbstractLogger}} should at least make its
{{MessageFactory}} available to subclasses. The fact that this is not available
was what made me call the other {{log}} methods in the custom logger in
LOG4J2-519.
Still, it seems a bit... fragile to ask subclasses to use only that particular
method. I'll think a bit more if there isn't an alternative. Thanks for the
explanation!

> Key: LOG4J2-555
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-555
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API, Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Assignee: Remko Popma
> Fix For: 2.0-rc2
>
>
> *How to reproduce*
> * Create a custom logger that extends {{AbstractLoggerWrapper}} (or generate
> one with the tool attached to LOG4J2-519)
> * In the custom logger provide a public method that invokes the {{log(Level,
> String)}} method
> * Configure a pattern layout that uses location, like %C for the logger FQCN
> * From a sample app, call the public method on your custom logger.
> * The output will show the class name of the custom logger instead of the
> class name of the calling class in the sample application.
> *Cause*
> {{AbstractLogger}}'s FQCN field is {{static final}} and initialized to
> {{AbstractLogger.class.getName()}}. Then, in
> {{Log4jLogEvent#calcLocation()}}, when walking over the stack trace elements,
> the element _following_ the FQCN is returned. So only loggers that directly
> subclass from {{AbstractLogger}} will work correctly. Loggers that inherit
> from {{AbstractLoggerWrapper}} are two levels removed from {{AbstractLogger}}
> and the {{calcLocation()}} method will not work correctly.
> *Solution*
> I think {{AbstractLogger}}'s FQCN field should be made non-static, and
> initialized to {{getClass().getName()}} in the constructor of
> {{AbstractLogger}}. {{Log4jLogEvent#calcLocation()}} can then be modified to
> return the {{StackElement}} whose class name matches the FQCN, instead of the
> next element. Location-based functionality should then work for arbitrarily
> deep subclass hierarchies of AbstractLogger.
