thread name in extended access log valve

I was using AccessLogValve in Tomcat 7 and am now starting to play with
ExtendedAccessLogValve, but can't find an equivalent to AccessLogValve's
%I identifier.
Is there one?

Thanks,

-Tony

Create an enhancement request in bugzilla. Maybe somebody will take a
look at it.

Formally the Extended AccessLog Valve follows the log format specified
by W3C in http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html

Apparently the log format allows application-specific log field
identifiers, if those are prefixed with "x-".  So something like
"x-thread" should be fine.


BTW,
1) maybe you can use a filter or valve to add an attribute to the
request that contains thread name, and then print it using x-R(name)

2) async requests can be processed by several threads. Apparently
AccessLogValve will print the name of the last thread that was
processing this request.


Best regards,

Heck, I didn't even know about the extended valve until I read the
7.0.19 changelog and then docs.

No, patches welcome.

I very recently added docs for this valve, which is live now, since we
just released TC 7.0.19:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Extended_Access_Log_Valve
