Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1142:
-------------------------------------
Ralph, it may be possible. The pool would have to be thread-safe though and
using it would need to be faster than creating a new StringBuilder (or there is
no point).
It does seem that making the ThreadLocal field non-static would be much
simpler.
Another idea is to use the Strategy pattern here again and create a new
StringBuilder instance per log event for web applications and use a ThreadLocal
otherwise. I prefer this to the pool (which I suspect will bring its own
complications).

> As discussed in LOG4J2-1125, storing ThreadLocal<StringBuilder> in a static
> field may not interact well with the thread pools and class loaders of some
> web containers and may result in memory leaks, especially in older web
> containers.
