[logback-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (LBCLASSIC-163) LoggingEventVO does not serialize the argument array properly.

Ralph Goers commented on LBCLASSIC-163:
---------------------------------------

No matter what serialization scheme you pick I'd be willing to bet there is going to be a problem if the source and receiver don't match. Making it impossible to reconstruct the original object is not a viable workaround (which is the way it is now).

I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to be required to have all these classes, but in the case of Lilith I would expect you don't really want a serialized ILoggingEvent either. I assume you would just prefer a well defined data structured such as that provided by RFC 5424.

To be honest, I don't understand why JMSTopicAppender and JMSQueueAppender use a PreSerializationTransformer. I would have expected that instead they would just be configured with a SerializedEventLayout. Having to create a LayoutPreSerializationTransformer seemed very redundant. Ideally, the SerializedEventLayout could then be extensible/configurable to allow various serialization methods.

> LoggingEventVO serializes the objects in the argument array by simply calling toString(). This makes it impossible to reconstruct the objects on the remote side. I have fixed this in my fork at git://github.com/rgoers/logback.git by serializing the object if it implements Serializable and converting it to a String if it does not.
