mapped diagnostic contexts. * *

A Mapped Diagnostic Context, or * MDC in short, is an instrument for distinguishing interleaved log * output from different sources. Log output is typically interleaved * when a server handles multiple clients near-simultaneously. * *

This class is similar to the {@link LoggerNDC} class except that * it is based on a map instead of a stack. * *

The MDC is managed on a per thread basis. * *

Example: * * {@example ../../examples/php/mdc.php 19}
* * With the properties file: * * {@example ../../examples/resources/mdc.properties 18}
* * Will result in the following (notice the username "knut" in the output): * *
