[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5250) PatternFormatter: add support for "truncate from the beginning"

Gernot P created AS7-5250: ----------------------------- Summary: PatternFormatter: add support for "truncate from the beginning" Key: AS7-5250 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5250 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Logging Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final Reporter: Gernot P Assignee: James Perkins org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter does not support "truncate from the beginning" as log4j patterns do (see http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/PatternLayou...) e.g. in log4j the format "%30.30c" outputs a fixed length category (30 characters) and truncates the category from the beginning if it's longer than 30 characters (especially for the category this is a reasonable choice, because the beginning of the category - which is mostly a package name - is always the same and therefore not menaingful) logmanager truncates at the end - so please add support for "truncate from the beginning" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
