Isn't log4j finished with the AuditObject once the call to ObjectRenderer.doRender(Object) call has been made with that object as the parameter? I was thinking that at that point, the AuditObjectRenderer could return the AuditObject to the pool. Or is there other stuff going on within the framew

You can't pool AuditObjects because you can't know when log4j has finished using them. You'd need to modify log4j code such that when the AuditObject is really written to the output media the AuditObject is returned to the pool. If there were a standard pooling API log4j could have done it for

I'm thinking that perhaps "audit" is not the right term for what we're doing. We have to collect this data (business requirement); the data will be aggregated and reported with a dedicated reporting tool (probably CrystalReports). We also have to provide the ability to drill down to detailed da

What about encapsulating your formal parameters in a single object, then having a log4j object renderer to format that object? Something like this: FormalParams fp = new FormalParams("johndoe","14.95","software"); mycartlog.info(fp); Doesn't stop people from logging whatever they want, but w

Formal parameter ideas?

2002-10-14 Thread LaBanca, Rick
I want to impose some formal parameters on logging. By that I mean, mycartlog.info("johndoe","14.95","software"); etc, and stamp that into the log in a known (and more parseable) format. I wish to reduce the risk of someone making a logger and not formatting correctly so this idea came up. I cou
