-----------------------------------

             Summary: @PluginValue does not support attribute names besides "value"
                 Key: LOG4J2-2693
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2693
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugins
    Affects Versions: 2.12.1
            Reporter: Matt Sicker


While working in the plugin system recently, I discovered an inconsistent behavior in how {{@PluginValue}} works compared to {{@PluginAttribute}}. If a {{value}} is specified other than "value", then I'd expect that the contents of that value to be the attribute name in the configuration file.

For example:

{code:java}
@Plugin(name = "Foo", category = "Core", ...)
public class Foo {
// ...
@PluginFactory
public static Foo createFoo(@PluginValue("bar") String bar) {
  return new Foo(bar);
}
}
{code}

Expected XML config:

{code:xml}
<Foo bar="baz"/>
{code}

Actual XML config:

{code:xml}
<Foo value="baz"/>
{code}
