Hi Alf, The parent and childrenList fields in Logger should not be serialized. Could you please create a jira issue regarding this bug? -- Ceki 65% of statistics are made up on the spot On 04.04.2013 12:55, Alf Kristian Støyle wrote:
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
