Why isn't message serializable in LoggingEvent?

[tm...@moneynet.com]

Hi,

     Question, what was the rationale behind not serializing the "message"
field in the LoggingEvent? This would have been helpful so that we could
send the object remotely to a Log server and then use Renderers on the
server to format the message.


Thanks,
  - Tim

[Don Taylor <do...@yahoo.com>]

Because message is an Object and not all Objects are serializable.
Hence, they serialize the rendered message instead. I know you don't
want to do it this way, but the solution is to place the renderers on
the client, not the server. Is there any reason why the renderer can't
be placed on the client? (Other than it's harder to manage and
control?)
