Sorry about that, I hit send before I was done..
// Set up the MDC info so we can pull the variables out in the layouts
private void mapToMDC(Map map) {
// MDC.getContext().putAll(map);
Iterator itr = map.entrySet().iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)itr.next();
MDC.put(entry.getKey().toString(), entry.getValue().toString());
}
}
ok, now...those are the helper functions..
// Code to log in the main server
// All requests go through this method
public void processLogRequest(Map evt) {
String mesg = (String)evt.get("message");
if (mesg.startsWith("ROLEVENT)) {
Map m = new HashMap();
try {
StringUtils.createNVList(mesg.substring("ROLEVENT".length()),
";", m);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
// Set the MDC data
mapToMDC(m);
}
// Create the category to log to
Category c = Category.getInstance(((String)evt.get("category_name")));
// Create the logging event from the fields in the Map (evt)
LoggingEvent e = new LoggingEvent((String)evt.get("fqn"), c,
Priority.toPriority((String)evt.get("priority")),
mesg, null);
c.callAppenders(e);
}
In my XML mapping for the category i have:
<!-- Appender to the CONSOLE -->
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p %c [%t]
%X{user_id} %X{trans_id} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
// Process the category
<category name="tim.mulle.test" >
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
<priority value="debug" />
</category>
I know the category I am receiving all the data becuase I can print it out,
it just isn't showing up on the console or in the files, etc.
Thanks,
Tim

08/14/2001 Subject: MDC "%X" still supported in
latest release?

Please
respond to
"LOG4J Users
Mailing List"
Hi,
Is the %X{var} pattern still supported in the latest CVS build? I'm
trying to use it in the console appender and nothing is printing out.
I have a central logger, which when it receives logging request will try to
build the MDC data so I can use the %X{var} patterns.
Code:
// After receiving the log request
Map m = new HashMap();
try {
StringUtils.createNVList(mesg.substring("ROLEVENT".length()), ";",
m);
// System.out.println("Map: " + m);
// System.out.println("user_id: " + m.get("user_id"));
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
// Set the MDC data
mapToMDC(m);
private void mapToMDC(Map m) {
}
