@JWT007,

Thanks! 💯

I think we could profit from the occasion and add JSpecify annotation to all classes in this package. As far as I can tell only a few parameters and fields can be null, mostly those named name and value.

…Attributte (apache#2791) + more appropriate method name

@NullMarked

+ made all Default***Builder implementations @ProviderrType + added setXXXAttribute method to some component builder interfaces with default implementations + added JSpecify @NullMarked to packages and @nullable where approrpiate to fields/mehods (per last PR review) + deprecated ComponentBuilder#addAttribute(...) methods and replaced with ComponentBuilder#setAttribute(...) methods in line with other builders (i.e. Plugins) - also since they don't just add but also remove if the value is null + reorganized ConfigurationBuilder to group getters, setters, builder factory methods + incremented package-info.java @Version annoations + added some null-guards in BuiltConfiguration#setup() + moved DeffaultConfigurationBuilder XML generation code from top to bottom of source file + removed "extra" attributes in Default***Builder constructors and replaced with setXXXAttribute chained calls in DefaultConfigurrationBuilder#newXXX(...) convenience methods + javadoc'd both packages (fixing documentation errors)

…ache#2791)

…instead of void (apache#2791) + added @BaselineIgnore due to API change (but breaks no code)

ppkarwasz

Thanks for the PR! 💯

Overall it looks OK, I added some notes below:

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-02T21:42:20Z

-        try (final LoggerContext loggerContext1 =
+        try (final LoggerContext tLoggerContext1 =


This isn't really necessary (and the 3 changes below).

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-02T21:48:08Z

+     * @throws NullPointerException if the given {@code key} is {@code null}
     */
-    T addAttribute(String key, Level level);
+    T setAttribute(String key, @Nullable Level level);


We can probably provide a default implementation for these methods.

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-02T21:51:03Z

+     * @param level the level
+     * @return this builder (for chaining)
+     */
+    default AppenderRefComponentBuilder setLevelAttribute(@Nullable String level) {


IMHO setLevel would be a better naming choice: it is not ambiguous and it is shorter.

Should we remove the Attribute suffix from all new methods?

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-02T21:54:49Z

 * of the Assembler API.
 * @since 2.4
 */
+@ProviderType


Suggested change

@ProviderType

This class is not meant to be extended by neither consumers nor providers, so no annotation is needed.

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-02T21:57:08Z

+     * @param newValue the new value
+     * @return the previous value or {@code null} if none was set
+     */
+    protected @Nullable String putAttribute(final String key, final @Nullable String newValue) {


Why is this protected?

It has a better sounding name than addAttribute. Maybe addAttribute should be deprecated (possibly with an Error Prone @InlineMe annotation) and this should be public?

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-03T10:02:48Z

    @Override
-    public T addAttribute(final String key, final int value) {
-        return put(key, Integer.toString(value));
+    public @NonNull CB getBuilder() {


Suggested change

public @NonNull CB getBuilder() {

public CB getBuilder() {

Isn't @NonNull the default?

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-03T10:09:27Z

+        synchronized (this) {
+            attributes.clear();
+            components.clear();
+        }


Since the class is not thread-safe anyway, do we need this?

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-03T10:11:04Z

+     * Gets the list of child components.
+     * @return an <i>immutable</i> list of the child components
+     */
+    protected List<Component> getComponents() {


Suggested change

protected List<Component> getComponents() {

protected List<? extends Component> getComponents() {

ppkarwasz · 2025-03-03T10:19:52Z

        final String name = (String) properties.remove(CONFIG_NAME);
        final String type = (String) properties.remove(CONFIG_TYPE);
-        if (Strings.isEmpty(type)) {
+        if (type == null || Strings.isEmpty(type)) {


Suggested change

if (type == null || Strings.isEmpty(type)) {

if (Strings.isEmpty(type)) {

Strings.isEmpty is null-safe.
