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

Gary, looks like our messages crossed. :-)  I agree with your solution to avoid 
the potentially unnecessary call to {{messageFactory.newMessage}}.

Bruce, one more small thing I noticed: line 1160 of AbstractLogger in 
log4j-555-bbrouwer-2.patch:
{code}
public void log(final Level level, final Marker marker, final Object message, 
final Throwable t) {
    if (isEnabled(level, marker, message, t)) {
        logMessage(FQCN, level, marker, message, t);
    }
}
{code}
Should this not be the below instead?
{code}
public void log(final Level level, final Marker marker, final Object message, 
final Throwable t) {
    log(FQCN, level, marker, message, t);
}
{code}

Finally, I strongly feel we should have a different name for the "internal API" 
{{LoggerProvider.log}} methods (used by implementers/extenders) and the 
"external API" {{Logger.log}} methods (used by users). I propose we rename the 
LoggerProvider {{log}} methods to {{logIfEnabled}}. Other names would be fine 
too, just not "log" :-)

If nobody objects I will rename the LoggerProvider {{log}} methods to 
{{logIfEnabled}} and commit Bruce's "2" patch plus Gary's changes tomorrow (my 
tomorrow, that is Saturday night US time).

>
> *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.
