Re: [virgo-dev] Custom logging appender?

[Glyn Normington <gnormington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to make sure the medic bundle in the kernel can load your appender class.

I suggest the cleanest technique would be to add two bundles to the kernel: a fragment bundle which contains just an import-package of the package of the appender class and another bundle which exports the package of the appender class and which contains the appender class.

You may prefer to roll these two bundles together for simplicity, but then the appender will have access to all sorts of medic internals that you wouldn't necessarily want it to become coupled to.

There is some background in bug 322398 [1] and an earlier forum post [2], but please come back if there are insufficient clues there.
