[jira] [Commented] (LOG4PHP-161) All configurable components should report errors when given invalid values

Florian Semm commented on LOG4PHP-161:
--------------------------------------

It's a good idea to implement one "configurator", but I wouldn't do this with a god-logger class.

I think there are two solutions:

1. do it like the symfony2-framework 

Define the configuration in a class and validate the input with the configuration-class. See https://github.com/floriansemm/Log4PhpBundle/blob/master/DependencyInjection/Configuration/Configuration.php

This happens before you setup the appenders/filters/what ever

2. The LoggerAppender-class has a reference to a configuration class

When you setup the appender the configuration class "validate" this config-property. The man problem is here: you have to declare the possible config-parameters for the appender


Maybe it isn't the easiest way, but to create another "BaseClass" isn't a good idea. A mixed solution of your idea and my is also possible! :)

> This includes: appenders, layouts, renderers, filters (and any future ones).
> This is usually implemented in the property setter (sometime in activateOptions()). The problem is that the code for checking if something is an integer/boolean/string/whatever, and reporting an error is relatively long (cca 5-10 lines). We do not want to recycle this code for each and every setter.
> The proposed solution is to make a base class from which all configurable classes will inherit. This class will provide generic setters which include validation and error reporting.

> I believe a solution to this issue should be included in 2.2 to complement the new configurator.
