Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-555:
------------------------------------

I do have a refactoring in mind that would replace the four lines of code with 
one line. This would be applicable to both the Generate tool and  
AbstractLogger. The goal is merely to reduce the almost-but-not-quite-duplicate 
code and still work correctly for the FQCN issue mentioned in this ticket. Not 
sure it it will help you with the stream stuff. 

Work is extremely busy now and I may not be able to work on this in the next 
few weeks.

>             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.
