>                 Key: WFCORE-606
>                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-606
>             Project: WildFly Core
>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>          Components: Logging
>         Environment: Windows 7, JDK 1.7.0_51
>            Reporter: Jörg Brück
>            Assignee: James Perkins
>            Priority: Minor
>
> After Changing from JBoss 5.1.0 to Wildfly the behaviour of my own written Log4j appenders
> have changed while accessing LoggingEvent in the function "append" of
> class ApppenderSkeleton.
> The reason of this behaviour is the implementation of org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent
>  public LoggingEvent(String fqnOfCategoryClass, Category logger, long timeStamp, Priority level, Object message, Throwable throwable) {
>         this.fqnOfCategoryClass = fqnOfCategoryClass;
>         this.logger = logger;
>         this.level = level;
>         logRecord = new ExtLogRecord(JBossLevelMapping.getLevelFor(level), message == null ? null : message.toString(), ExtLogRecord.FormatStyle.NO_FORMAT, fqnOfCategoryClass);
> The Object message is converted to string and saved in Class ExtLogRecord.
> Here the implementation of getMessage:
>  public Object getMessage() {
>         return logRecord.getMessage();
>     }
> Here the implementation of getMessage of ExtLogRecord 
> public String getMessage() {
>         return message;
>     }
> Because of this String is always returned.
> If I understand this code right you can transfer every object to log4j, but you can not access this objects
> in an appender because of the LoggingEvent constructor where method toString is called.
> What is the reason of this change in contrast to jboss 5.1.0?
> Of course I can reconstruct my objects from the string if I overwrite the toString method.
