Hi, i'm developing a custom appender/receiver for the current SVN version of log4j. My problem is that establishing a connection to the remote server is quite time consuming, so the user has to wait a few seconds before sending a LoggingEvent. I've separated the connection process into a new thread but now my question is what's the "good practice" in log4j to adress this kind of problem:
- blocking the first append() call until the connection is established? IMHO not very comfortable for the user - routing incoming LoggingEvents through a RingBuffer like the SMTPAppender does? - switching the "active" field to "false" until the connection is established and let the user poll for isActive()? Questions over questions :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
