Hi Alf,

The parent and childrenList fields in Logger should not be serialized. Could you please create a jira issue regarding this bug?

Hi everyone.

First off, my first mail on the mailinglist, thanks for logback, it is
awesome :)

We had a problem in our project that our serialized object graph was way
too large.

After digging, we found that a referenced ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger
was the cause. A serialized object was about 27 kB, after making the
referenced logger static, the serialized size was about 4,7kB

ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger has several transient fields, but parent
and childrenList are not. My guess is that when serializing a logger,
you then implicitly serialize every referenced logger inn the logger
tree. Am I correct?

Since the readResolve method is only dependent on name, every field
could be made transient, problem solved?

Cheers,
Alf
