is it possible to add something like session id, or thread name, to each line of the log output, so that each roundtrip can be analyzed correctly.

a minor problem: some lines of the output (..."request to be processed" et. al.) contain a number [...345] which is probably the milliseconds since the last such output, useful to determine the processing time of each request. However this is rather useless with more workload when requests overlap; additionally the calculation of this seems to be rather vulnerable to parallel access.

Hi,

we already output the thread id...:

Code:

         StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
         m_cal.setTimeInMillis(record.getMillis()); 
         result.append(m_cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
         result.append(":");
         result.append(fv((m_cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1)+"",2));
         result.append(":");
         result.append(fv(m_cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+"",2));
         result.append(" ");
         result.append(fv(m_cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)+"",2));
         result.append(":");
         result.append(fv(m_cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+"",2));
         result.append(":");
         result.append(fv(m_cal.get(Calendar.SECOND)+"",2));
         result.append(":");
         result.append(fv(m_cal.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND)+"",3));
         result.append(" | ");
         result.append(fs(record.getThreadID()+"",6));
         result.append(" | ");
         result.append(fs(record.getLevel()+"",8));
         result.append(" | ");
         result.append(record.getMessage());
         if (s_outputclassmethod == true)
         {
             result.append(" .......... ");
             result.append(record.getSourceClassName());
             result.append(">");
             result.append(record.getSourceMethodName());
         }
         result.append("\n");
         if (record.getThrown() != null)
         {
             ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
             PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(baos);
             record.getThrown().printStackTrace(pw);
             pw.flush();
             result.append(".......... Stacktrace Info ..........\n");
             result.append(baos.toString());
         }
         return result.toString();

Adding the session id is a bigger problem, we would have to update all our logging statements.

If this is a problem: you may write a Filter (servlet filter), that at the very beginning set the thread id to the session id. You may use this filter for testing purposes only (changing the thread id is typically not really "polite"...).

Hi,
might have looked at the standard first, before complaining.

We have recently switched to log4j logging, using your ILogOutput interface mechanism. Then it is of course our duty to ensure that all relevant information is output.
