Hello Curt,

I am in the process of recovering from a hardware faulire. Sorry for not responding earlier.

We are allowed to break existing implementations of Appenders. Existing implementations of Appender need to keep up if they want to be compatible. Please do not revert this change without further discussion.

Thanks,


Bad timing, I just reverted it. I wanted to make sure it was live for the next Gump iteration and I assumed that there was not going to be a response from you given the late time.


Fortunately, it was very localized at this point, all that was required to be reverted was Appender and AbstractAppenderTest. I had also left an import of SMTPAppenderTest in AbstractAppenderTest which was causing the continued failure of logging-log4j-tests. I think this is a reasonable state to hold and work through the issues.

It would be good to at least let the reversion stay in place through the Gump cycle. The breaking of HiveMind wasn't obviously a log4j issue when I reviewed their Gump logs and there were several other Gump projects (jug, jakarta-hivemind, jakarta-cactus-sample-servlet-12, jakarta-cactus-sample-servlet-13, jakarta-cactus-sample-jetty-13) that had also been broken for the same number of builds. Letting the reversion stay in place at least for tonight will allow us to know whether all those projects were broken by the interface change.
