Just giving some thought to where and how we're going to use logging in a new project here, and I'd like to get verification regarding my understanding of NDC's and where they are appropriate for use. Assuming: a PatternLayout of time, thread, category, priority, ndc, and message. Assuming: all threads that we create will be named meaningfully and have their NDC stacks (if any) cloned. Assuming: no EJB technologies Assuming: TomCat hosting model II style JSP's and standard Servlets It seems to me that the only place where using NDC's .push() .pop() methods is indicated is in our Servlets, and the JSP pages themselves (which become Servlets, duh). Am I missing something here? Is this the only place use of NDC's would be indicated?
