    Take a look at the PatternLayout docs for most of what you want.

    The headache you face is getting the user name from the session (Log4j can’t do this automatically). I would perhaps investigate NDCs or MDCs, and populate these from the session (perhaps in a servlet filter?). They are per-thread, so assuming your user has the same scope then this may help.
