> I was looking at an old rev - getContentType is now exposed - thanks!
> Now if we could add a 'getFormat':
> It would be useful to expose information about a Layout's format.
> If the content type is text/plain, exposing the layout format as a conversion pattern would work fine.
> If the content type is text/html or text/xml we could expose something else (or null).
> My primary interest is adding the ability to 'discover' the file-based logging configurations in order to support them via Chainsaw and multicast DNS.
> If all Layouts supporting text/plain content types exposed their format as a conversion pattern, and the file-based appenders (optionally) provided the ability to advertise their configuration, the files could be remotely tailed without the far endpoint even knowing anything about the file configuration.
> For an example, see how multicast appenders are exposed via zeroconf/multicast dns in log4j 1.x in activateOptions - something very similar could be done with contenttype and format properties in a fileappender with a layout.
> if (advertiseViaMulticastDNS) {
> Map properties = new HashMap();
> properties.put("multicastAddress", remoteHost);
> zeroConf = new ZeroConfSupport(ZONE, port, getName(), properties);
> zeroConf.advertise();
> }
