Class ContextMap

java.lang.Object
org.apache.log.ContextMap
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
@Deprecated public final class ContextMap extends Object implements Serializable
Deprecated.
Will be dropped in 3.3
The ContextMap contains non-hierarchical context information relevant to a particular LogEvent. It may include information such as;
  • user ->fred
  • hostname ->helm.realityforge.org
  • ipaddress ->1.2.3.4
  • interface ->127.0.0.1
  • caller ->com.biz.MyCaller.method(MyCaller.java:18)
  • source ->1.6.3.2:33
The context is bound to a thread (and inherited by sub-threads) but it can also be added to by LogTargets.
