[jira] [Created] (LOG4J2-3004) Migrate JsonTemplateLayout static resolvers to plugins

Volkan Yazici created LOG4J2-3004:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Migrate JsonTemplateLayout static resolvers to plugins
                 Key: LOG4J2-3004
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3004
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JsonTemplateLayout
            Reporter: Volkan Yazici
             Fix For: 2.15.0


JsonTemplateLayout uses a static list of resolvers. While this makes it impossible^1^ to update the set of resolvers used for the layout, e.g., adding new user-provided custom resolvers, it is also old fashioned. Log4j has a great plugin system and it is leveraged by PatternLayout exactly for the same thing. This story aims to bring this improvement to JsonTemplateLayout too.

^1^ We can still allow the injection of a custom resolver factory in the layout configuration, but again, there is a better way to do it: plugins!
