Thanks. Then shouldn't append() be protected instead of public? So that application can not call append() and call doAppend() instead?
And do you know the answer of my Network transmittion question? Does every append result in transmitting a packet? -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Moral [mailto:ricardo_moral@;yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 3:04 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: log4j SocketAppender questions No, there is no need to synchronize the log method before calling any logger that uses this appender. This is because this appender extends the AppenderSkeleton class. The AppenderSkeleton class is the base class for many of the Appenders (Console, JDBC, etc) and implements the <code>doAppend(LoggingEvent)</code> method wich is the method called by the Logger to report LoggingEvents. This method is synchronized and calls the <code>append(LoggingEvent)</code> that is an abstract method that must be implemented in subclases... --- Samuel Cheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Is SocketAppender in log4j thread safe?
