I'm losing logs when I use the AsyncAppender for some reason. This loss of logs occurs whether I'm using a custom appender or out-of-the-box appender (i.e. FileAppender).
I have not noticed this problem when I send a string in the log method call. It only seems to happen when I pass an object in the log method call. The object I'm sending in the log is not large or complex. It is a HashMap collection containing only 5 or 6 entries. The logs that get created successfully varies. Sometimes I get all of the logs I'm expecting, but, most of the time I don't. If I use the appenders without the AsyncAppender I'm consistently getting all of the expected logs. I'm not creating a large number of logs (my test case only creates 3 logs). Nevertheless, I have tried to change all of the options used by the AsyncAppender just in case, but it has not resolved anything. Other characteristics of my environment: * Using log4j 1.2.14 * Using JDK 1.4.2_14 * OS is Windows XP Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior with the AsyncAppender? Thanks.
