SocketAppender fails to reconnect immediately





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-07-30 20:48 -------
I have to state before anything else, that the use of the SocketAppender is a 
necessity for us, as several applications are writing to similar log files. We 
had big problems in the past when all those applications were opening the same 
file for writing.

I agree in general with your comments, but in our case a small modification 
would save us from loosing ANY message. What you suggest demands more work and 
may be memory consuming (when do you stop buffering messages?).
Both solutions are fine by me, as long as we do something for it.
I can even suggest one more solution:
   keep the current thread that tries to connect to the server, but increase 
the sleep time every time you fail. Then, I can put a very small sleep for the 
first effort - which in my case will immediately succeed - and still not get 
thousands of errors when the server is REALLY down.

One just final remark: concerning performance, if someone considers it a 
bottleneck, then he may well use the AsynchAppender to offload the main 
application. In our case, it would still not solve the problem.
