Hi, I wrote a custom appender that just writes to a circular queue:

public class MemoryAppender extends AppenderBase<ILoggingEvent> { stuff }

I configure it as follows:

<appender name="ringLogger" class="com.xxxxxxxx.MemoryAppender"> <limit>1000</limit> </appender>

His append NEVER receives stack traces:

public void add(ILoggingEvent loggingEntry) { boolean hasStackTrace = loggingEntry.getCallerData(); /* always false ! */ }

Any idea why this would be? This appender is just about as simple as it can get ......

Hi Chris, Caller data *extract* caller data from the current thread. You probably want getThrowableProxy() on ILoggingEvent.
