           Summary: Implement zeroconf support for additional receivers
           Product: Log4j
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Include ZeroConf support for additional receivers (UDPReceiver,
MulticastReceiver, XMLSocketReceiver).

Currently, _log4j._tcp.local. is the service name associated with a
ZeroConfSocketHubAppender (a SocketHubReceiver initiates a TCP connection to
the appender using port and host address information).  This should probably be
left as-is to support existing deployments.

Two possible implementation choices: 
1. use _log4j._tcp.local, _log4j._udp.local. and _log4j._multicast.local.
service names and require specific properties which will be used to construct
the appropriate receiver

Example: a _log4j.udp.local. service name with an optional "decoder" property
could be advertised or received to automatically construct a UDPReceiver

2. define new service names which provide all needed information

Examples: a UDPReceiver could advertise that it can receive events by defining
a service name of _log4j_xml_accept_receive._udp.local., or a UDPReceiver could
automatically be created if an external system advertised
_log4j_xml_connect_send._udp.local.

One reason for using names would be if the external system's zeroconf
implementation couldn't provide properties.
