Ricardo, Yes, the append() method of AppenderEskeleton is protected but the append() method of SocketAppender() is public. The append() method of SocketAppender() should be protected as well. Is that correct?

In the version I have 1.2.7 the append() method of AppenderEskeleton is protected. So this is OK. > > And do you know the answer of my Network > transmittion question?

The LoggingEvent to be logged will be written directly to a ObjectOutputStream that wrapps the OutputStream of the socket. So if you need buffering you can wrapp the SocketAppender in a Appender that implements buffering and wrapps this appender. For this you might use AsyncAppender. > > -----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.
