Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1178:
-------------------------------------
What your suggesting just doesn't feel right to me. A Logger is an abstraction
that generates an event and has no idea where it is going to end up. An
Appender takes events and writes them to a specific destination.
setLogWriter(PrintStream) doesn't really sound like a "logging" API at all in
that it is directly tying output to the destination.
Also, I am not sure reconfiguration makes sense to do this. What are you going
to reconfigure it to do? A PrintStream to what destination?
What you could is access the OutputStream from an existing Appender and wrap it
with a PrintStream.

> I am writing a JDBC driver. The JDBC Spec has a a method
> [DataSource.setLogWriter(PrintStream)|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/CommonDataSource.html#setLogWriter-java.io.PrintWriter-]
> API drivers should implement.
> Users can drop our driver into any tool that talks JDBC or write their own
> apps. In am concerned about the 'drop the driver anywhere' scenario, like in
> an Eclipse based tool; that may or may not use Eclipse DTP. Or anything else.
> The
> [setLogWriter()|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/CommonDataSource.html#setLogWriter-java.io.PrintWriter-]
> API can be called at any time, after Log4j has initialized itself for
> example.
> I do all my driver logging through Log4j. If a tool calls
> [setLogWriter()|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/CommonDataSource.html#setLogWriter-java.io.PrintWriter-],
> I'd like the given PrintStream to become an Appender such that Log4j output
> appears there.
> The only way I see to do that is through pseudo-code like
> "getLoggerContext().getConfiguration().addAppender(PrintStreamAppender.createPrintStreamAppender(aPrintStream))"
> I think that would need to be followed by a full reconfigure.
> Can we use our new builder API to add to the current config and reconfigure?
