ThrowableProxyUtil.printFirstLine - allow customisation of output (use Throwable.toString instead of getMessage) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-250 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-250 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: New Feature Components: Other Affects Versions: 0.9.28 Reporter: Alvin Chee Assignee: Logback dev list I have a custom exception class (BaseException) with an "errorCode" attribute, and overridden the toString method to return errorCode + Exception.getMessage log4j is simply using toString(), which logs the exceptions as required. ThrowableProxyUtil.printFirstLine uses buf.append(tp.getClassName()).append(": ").append(tp.getMessage()); In some cases, Exception.getMessage will return null, as my application will only return the error code to the caller. Can logback provide an option to use toString instead of manually appending the class name and getMessage? or simply use toString? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
