Bryan Hsueh commented on LOG4J2-628: ------------------------------------ Correct, my use case is not performance related. Instead, I implement Clock so that I can decide whether to use System time or my own artificial, simulated time. I am simulating a program against historical data. So, when I run historically, I want to see my historical timestamp. When I run live, I want to see the System timestamp. My Clock:currentTimeMillis() decides this for me. > Cannot set log4j.Clock with Async appender > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: LOG4J2-628 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-628 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Question > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1 > Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 / Java 7 > Reporter: Bryan Hsueh > > I override log4j.Clock to support a "live" time vs a "simulated" time. > System.setProperty("log4j.Clock", "teambh.trade.utils.MyClock"); > If I use asynchronous loggers, it works fine and calls my > Clock:currentTimeMillis(). > If I switch to async appenders, currentTimeMillis() is not called. > Is this expected behavior or a bug? > Thanks -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
