You should take a look at the AsyncAppender. -----Original Message----- From: Ali Mesbah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 6:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: appenders?
I have decided to use log4j in a project we are working on at WEST consulting. I have a question concerning the use of appenders in log4j. The problem is as follows: We would like to extend the functionality of our logging by writing a new appender which has a buffer in it for the log-messeges that are not actually logged but kept in this buffer for later use (fatal exceptions). Whether a log-message is actually logged or kept in the buffer depends on its priority. What I have seen from the hierarchy of the appenders in log4j is that it is not possible to make a (appender) class which can take different types of appenders (fileAppender, RollingFileAppender,...) as parameter to delegate to. It is only possible to extend one of the appender classes at a time and this is a limitation which we do not want in our system. The question is thus: is there a solution for the desired functionality described above?
