From this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/25125159/4367326 I have routingAppender
working but I want to set the ThreadContext
for every thread in the program.
When I set
ThreadContext.put("logFileName", "TestLogFile");
it works for the main thread and logs as expected but not for any other threads in my application. How can I achieve this?
Every child thread will inherit fathers ThreadContext state if you set up system property isThreadContextMapInheritable to true. But this will not work for Executors so you need to manually copy data from one thread to another.
Update#2
You can do something like this:
public abstract class ThreadContextRunnable implements Runnable {
private final Map context = ThreadContext.getContext();
@Override
public final void run() {
if (context != null) {
ThreadContext.putAll(context);
}
try {
runWithContext();
} finally {
ThreadContext.clearAll();
}
}
protected abstract void runWithContext();
}
And then you only need to implement runWithContext method.
