Subject: [EXTERNAL] [logback-user] Custom MDC Implementations?

Is it possible to write your own custom MDC implementation (similar to 
log4j's ContextDataProvider) so that logback can get context details 
from something other than threadlocal storage?

Hi,

I believe this is something I have done. One thing to note was to ensure that the MDC data is cleared as soon as it's irrelevant, especially in an application whereby user activity from a different application session might re-use that thread.

This includes any exception handling that might report "something went wrong" to the use, or similar.

What is it you are trying (not) to do?

Thanks,
Tim
