Hello Ceki, [Usage of context selector in multi threaded environments]
Assuming a new appender, say MultiAppender, was capable of embedding and managing other appenders per thread basis, you would no longer need context selectors. More importantly, most of the work would be done by MultiAppender. You would only need to configure it in logback.xml and push MDC values at the beginning of each thread. (I am making the assumption that the MDC can be used to distinguish threads.)
Yes, currently my context selector relies on MDC. I think your suggested MultiAppender would also solve my problem for now. However with the context selector I am currently more flexible on deciding at one central point, to which LoggerContext I need to pass a log event. Furthermore it is currently possible for me to distinguish different logback configuration files for different thread classes. This allows a far more fine-grained configuration.
Needless to say, there is no intention of removing support for context selectors.
Okay. That's good :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Holger Mense Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH Banking Division Product Development (PSD5) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- WINCOR NIXDORF International GmbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Paderborn Registergericht Paderborn HRB 3507 Gesch�ftsf�hrer: Eckard Heidloff (Vorsitzender), Stefan Auerbach, Dr. J�rgen Wunram Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Karl-Heinz Stiller Steuernummer: 339/5884/0020 - Ust-ID Nr.: DE812927716 - WEEE-Reg.-Nr.
