I didn't know about the MDC treatment -- I'll have to look into that. Otherwise, I knew that #2 and #3 were covered by the existing Chainsaw. I just didn't want to give up any of that to get #1 covered -- and don't personally see any value in porting Chainsaw to logback to achieve #1 either.

One more clarification: Chainsaw V2 uses log4j 1.3alpha internally because of log4j 1.3's support of receivers and new methods on LoggingEvent. Chainsaw V2 can process events generated by -any- of the log4j 1.2 appenders, minus the limitations Paul mentioned re: serial incompatibility of Loca

# 1 is relatively easy to achieve (it should be sufficient to add some constructors and accessors to loggingevent in the 1.2 stream) #2 is already there (sockethubreceiver, socketreceiver, logfilexmlreceiver, file/open xml files in the UI) #3 is already there - MDC entries show up as individual c

I agree - the ability to log objects instead of strings only provides some capabilities which aren't available otherwise - filters are an example (see reflectionfilter & mapfilter in 1.3alpha). Scott Deboy COMOTIV SYSTEMS 111 SW Columbia Street Ste. 950 Portland, OR 97201 Telephone: 503.

log4j 1.3 in my opinion is stuck in a hopeless position. It is too incompatible with log4j 1.2.x to ever be recommended as a drop-in replacement for log4j 1.2 in a production environment. However, if you changed log4j 1.3 to be drop-in compatible with log4j 1.2, then you would break any
