I'm thinking of using log4j with the jdbc appender, to log some structured information regarding the usage of my applications. I log with something like:
myLogger.info( userName + applicationName + transactionName ); I would like to be able to use a JDBC conversion pattern that would allow me to load the user name in a column, the application name into another column, and the transaction name into a third column. But, since the logger only accepts a single string as parameter, there is no way once we get into the layout specification to make a reference to individual elements. The layout only knows that my string corresponds to the %m specification. What I would need is the possibility of calling the logger with a collection of strings; then, in the layout, I could reference each string with a %1m , %2m and %3m specification - something like ... INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE ( userName, transactionName, applicationName ) VALUES ( "%1m" , "%3m", "%2m" ) " . I know there is no such thing in the package right now, and I don't expect it any time soon, but do you think it would be feasible? And would it be useful, or am I the only one with that kind of requirements?
