A rewrite of the configurator
-----------------------------
Key: LOG4PHP-152
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4PHP-152
Project: Log4php
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Code
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Ivan Habunek
Assignee: Ivan Habunek
Fix For: 2.2
The current configuration system uses 3 separate objects to configure log4php -
one for each configuration format XML, properties and PHP. This often caused
inconsistencies in the way log4php is configured - the equivalent configuration
would not produce the same results.
The idea is to create a singe Configurator object which will _only_ take
configuration as a PHP array. Then create several Adapter objects (one for each
configuration format) which will translate the configuration from that format
to a PHP array understood by the Configurator. This would make the Configurator
the single class which configures log4php.
The second goal of this action is to improve error reporting. Any configuration
which cannot be parsed, or any invalid value in configuration should produce a
PHP warning informing the user what's wrong.
Thirdly, we should insure that the configurator does not throw any exceptions.
Any errors should only result in a warning message so it doesn't break apps
just because it cannot log.
Lastly, we can standardize and document the PHP configuration format which
exists already, but is not documented.
