SocketAppender and the transient message attribute

[Dominique Paquin <dp...@okiok.com>]

Greetings all,

I am currently trying to implement a SocketAppender that will talk to a 
SocketNode I have on the server side.

Up to now, I am able to implement all this and have messages sent from 
the Client to the Server.
My message is contained in the message attribute of the LoggingEvent 
object and it is a complex object that contains a very large amount of 
audit information.

I can see in LoggingEvent that the message attribute is *transient*, I 
actually need that object on the server side.

*Question 1)* Was this implemented like this intentionally ?
*Question 2)* If it is not a bug, what should I do to have my message 
object on the server side?

Thanks
Dominique Paquin
