Provide a Layout Pattern that is re-evaluated on each use ---------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-316 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-316 Project: Log4net Issue Type: Improvement Components: Other Affects Versions: 1.2.11 Reporter: Roy Chastain Priority: Minor The DynamicPatternLayout is a layout pattern that is re-evaluated on each use. It is appropriate to use instead of LayoutPattern to provide dynamic strings in headers and footers for appenders. Datetime is an example. Using the standard layout pattern results in the same datetime in each header and footer, while using DynamicPatternLayout results in timestamp of the header/footer creation. Example <layout type="log4net.Layout.DynamicPatternLayout"> <param name="Header" value="%newline**** Trace Opened Local: %date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} UTC: %utcdate{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} ****%newline"/> <param name="Footer" value="**** Trace Closed %date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} ****%newline"/> </layout> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
