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

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

I took the easy way out.
1. I changed LoggingEventVO so that only StructuredData objects are serialized. All others are serialized to Strings as was previously done.
2. JMSTopicAppender, JMSQueueAppender and SocketAppender can be configured with a PreSerializationTransformer. This allows the serialization to be done any way desired. However, SocketNode, JMSTopicSink and JMSQueueSink still do not provide a way to override the way they deserialize objects. I propose adding a DeSerializationTransformer that can be configured in. Alternately, the deserialization method could be added to the PreSerializationTransformer - in which case the PreSerializationTransformer interface name should be renamed.
3. JMSTopicAppender, JMSQueueAppender and SocketAppender all will use the LayoutPreSerializationTransformer if a layout is configured and no PreSerilalizationTransformer is provided.

> 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.
