<p/>
<p>Internally a diagnostic context is represented as a stack. A
given thread can supply the stack (i.e. diagnostic context) to a
child thread so that the child can inherit the parent thread's
diagnostic context.
<p/>
<p>The child thread uses the <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/NDC.html#inherit(java.util.Stack)"><CODE>inherit</CODE></A> method to
inherit the parent's diagnostic context.

<DL>
<DD>Inherit the diagnostic context of another thread.
<p/>
<p>The parent thread can obtain a reference to its diagnostic
context using the <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/NDC.html#cloneStack()"><CODE>cloneStack()</CODE></A> method. It should
communicate this information to its child so that it may inherit
the parent's diagnostic context.
<p/>
<p>The parent's diagnostic context is cloned before being
inherited. In other words, once inherited, the two diagnostic
contexts can be managed independently.
<p/>
<p>In java, a child thread cannot obtain a reference to its
parent, unless it is directly handed the reference. Consequently,
there is no client-transparent way of inheriting diagnostic
contexts. Do you know any solution to this problem?

<p/>
<p>Each thread that created a diagnostic context by calling
<A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/NDC.html#push(java.lang.String)"><CODE>push(java.lang.String)</CODE></A> should call this method before exiting. Otherwise,
the memory used by the <b>thread</b> cannot be reclaimed by the
VM.
<p/>
<p>As this is such an important problem in heavy duty systems and
because it is difficult to always guarantee that the remove
method is called before exiting a thread, this method has been
augmented to lazily remove references to dead threads. In
practice, this means that you can be a little sloppy and
occasionally forget to call <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/NDC.html#remove()"><CODE>remove()</CODE></A> before exiting a
thread. However, you must call <code>remove</code> sometime. If
you never call it, then your application is sure to run out of
memory.

<DD>Set maximum depth of this diagnostic context. If the current

<p/>
<p>This method is a convenient alternative to multiple <A HREF="../../../org/apache/log4j/NDC.html#pop()"><CODE>pop()</CODE></A> calls. Moreover, it is often the case that at the end of
complex call sequences, the depth of the NDC is
unpredictable. The <code>setMaxDepth</code> method circumvents
this problem.
<p/>
<p>For example, the combination
<pre>
void foo() {
&nbsp; int depth = NDC.getDepth();
<p/>
&nbsp; ... complex sequence of calls
<p/>
&nbsp; NDC.setMaxDepth(depth);
}
</pre>
<p/>
ensures that between the entry and exit of foo the depth of the
diagnostic stack is conserved.
