I think the easiest way is to use the MDC :
Any place in your code when you know the userId, call :
MDC.put("userId",userId);
You can then access it in the Appender :
event.getMDC("userId");
If you use a PatternLayout, include
"x{userId}" in the pattern (I'm am not 100% sure about this last syntax)

Subject: Defining layout and using objects to log information.
Hi
I have just started using log4j.
I need some information / guidance on how to log information into a
database.
I want to log my own information like user id, transaction id etc. which I
am
storing in an object.
Is there any way I can pass objects to the Appender which can log the
information held in that object.
