Hello I am using log4j in scala and i created a custom Lookup by extending from StrLookup. The problem i have is my class depends on an external configuration object. I can not pass it imlpicitly in the default constructor coz. log4 complains about not finding an empty default constructor. An ugly solution is to make the config object accesible in the companion object and then use it in the instance but thats a very ugly way.
Is there any factory oder manager class where i can enumerate or access my plugin instance and call a setter ? How can i inject or set my dependency ? Thx @Plugin(name = "syncer", category = "Lookup") class SyncerLookup extends StrLookup { override def lookup(key: String) : String = { SyncerLookup.config.getOrElse[String](key, null) // BAD } override def lookup(event: LogEvent, key: String): String = { SyncerLookup.config.getOrElse[String](key, null) // BAD } } object SyncerLookup{ var config:Config = _ } -- Patrick Brunmayr LINZ AG für Energie, Telekommunikation, Verkehr und Kommunale Dienste A-4021 Linz, Wiener Straße 151, Postfach 1300, Tel. +43/732/3400-0, E-Mail: i...@linzag.at
