Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-481:
------------------------------------
This looks better but I still have a couple of questions regarding why/how this
is useful:
1. if you do:
{code}
LoggerStream stream = logger.getStream(Level.INFO);
stream.print("Hello");
stream.print(", ");
stream.print("World");
stream.flush();
{code}
then the line number of the location info will be for the call to flush. If
they call println or simply include a newline then it will be for the print.
That seems like it could lead to confusion.
2. If the flush is forgotten the data will accumulate until something else
calls flush or a newline is written. This could lead to "odd" behavior.
3. The user could just as easily do:
{code}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Hello");
sb.append(", ");
sb.append("World);
logger.info(sb.toString());
{code}
Why isn't that preferable to using a stream?

> I would like to have method (or class) to use a logger as a PrintStream, like
> e.g.:
> {quote}
> PrintStream Logger.getStream(Level level);
> {quote}
> or maybe like this
> http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/Java/Testing/jacareto/jacareto/toolkit/log4j/LogOutputStream.java.htm
> (as I recently discovered, org.apache.commons.exec.LogOutputStream is doing
> different things).
