[logback-dev] PatternLayout Converter Map

[Brett Walker]

Hi All,



In the source code for PatternLayout.java in logback.classic the following lines for the rules for the context name pattern are present (I assume that 'cn' is a shorthand for the context name):



115    defaultConverterMap.put("cn", ContextNameAction.class.getName());

116    defaultConverterMap.put("contextName", ContextNameConverter.class.getName());



This seems to be at odds with all the other rules for patterns. Either:



 a) i)  The 'cn' pattern is not about the context name, if so then what does stand for?

    ii) Why does the class name indicate inheritance from a Joran Action rather than a Converter?



Or



 b) The lines should be the following which is typical of other pattern rules:



115    defaultConverterMap.put("cn", ContextNameConverter.class.getName());

116    defaultConverterMap.put("contextName", ContextNameConverter.class.getName());



Could you please clarify.



Thanks in advance,

Brett
