[slf4j-dev] Transactions in slf4j?

[Ralph Goers]

We have a class called RequestContext. All it contains is a bunch of  
constants and static helper methods to store fields into the MDC. At  
the start of every request we call RequestContext.initialize(). That  
clears the MDC and then adds a key named "id" that contains a  
java.util.UUID as a String. The "RequestContext" is then passed  
throughout the application and is even serialized and passed to remote  
systems so that the distributed request can be captured and aggregated  
in logs.

Is this what you are after?
