RE: "Acorn" request for core log4j

Richard,

What do you want to use this value for?  What would you like the value to
be?

-Mark

ps Sorry for the delay, things got busy here are work too...:-)

Ceki/Mark,

Can you add a toString() method to the
AppenderSkeleton and the Logger objects?  I'm
displaying these in the gui, and thought that the
toString() method would be a great way of displaying
them (doesn't require me to cast from Object).  Any
objections?

Thanks,
Richard

He he he, work shmork :-)

I figured that returning the appender's name would be
handy.

Basically, I have a List of Objects - Strings,
appenders, and Loggers.  These objects are displayed
in a JList. So, either the toString() method is
overridden to display something pretty and nice (like
the appender name), or I have to detect what type of
object is in the List and then either show its name,
or call toString(), etc depending on the object type. 
I may end up taking the latter approach anyway because
it gives me greater flexibilty in what I display in
the JList.  It just might be nice to print something
besides the object's hash in memory on a toString()
call by default.

Not very critical at this point.

Richard
