Dimitry Declercq commented on LOG4J2-407:
-----------------------------------------

I'm guessing you would want to do that before the check that throws the 
AppenderLoggingExcpetion.
I created a similar solution yesterday with the intention to test this today or 
tomorrow. This is probably not the best nor the cleanest solution, but rather a 
quickfix that shouldn't impact performance too much.

{code}
    @Override
    protected void writeInternal(final LogEvent event) {
        StringReader reader = null;
        try {
            if ( !this.isConnected() || this.connection == null || 
this.connection.isClosed() ) {
                // Check if the connection has been closed
                // You don't want to execute isValid always, since this 
launches a query/ping to the server
                if ( this.connection != null && !this.connection.isValid(3) ) {
                    // Try to re-establish connection with database
                    disconnectInternal();
                    connectInternal();
                }

                // Check if we were able to recover the connection
                if ( this.connection == null || this.connection.isClosed() ) {
                    // Nope, connection is dead...
                    throw new AppenderLoggingException("Cannot write logging 
event; JDBC manager not connected to the database.");
                }
            }
{code}

>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Appenders
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
>            Reporter: Michael Kloster
>            Assignee: Nick Williams
>
> The JDBCAppender holds a single database connection for all its logging. If 
> that database connection is closed, it does not attempt to make a new 
> connection.
> Many connection pools automatically close connections after a certain amount 
> of inactivity. (This can be worked around by properly configuring a pool).
> Database connectivity issues are also common enough that a long running 
> application may experience temporary network issues. When the network comes 
> back online, the logging will not resume.
> I've been meaning to submit a patch for this, but I haven't gotten to it. 
> Since I saw that you are looking to come out of beta soon, I thought I would 
> log this issue in case someone else has time to write the patch before I get 
> to it.
