My aim isn't to serialize the NDC itself, but the NDC stack (obtained by calling NDC.cloneStack()). The NDC Stack contains DiagnosticContext objects. In the scenario you mentioned, I would have to extract the Stack from the NDC, then recursively get the DiagnosticContexts from the Stack, convert the DiagnosticContexts to Strings and then add the strings to a Collection for transport. This is not an optimal solution because of the overhead involved in converting to Strings. Furthermore, my intent is to inherit the Stack into another NDC after transport, and inheriting a Stack of Strings instead of DiagnosticContext objects will likely cause problems.
The DiagnosticContext inner class is a pretty simple class. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be serializable. -----Original Message----- From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 4:58 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: NDC.DiagnosticContext bug ? We do not serialize the NDC but it's string form. Isn't the string form enough for your needs?
