I don't understand.
In my opinion LayoutAware and EncoderAware should be standalone
interface with just a getter and a setter, and not extend Appender.
Yes, obviously.
All appenders that need a layout should implement LayoutAware.
They can implement the interface themselves or - when its practical -
inherit from LayoutAwareAppenderBase
Agreed.
Why would you tie LayoutAware to the Appender interface.
You could tie the two interfaces by mistake. :-)
PS: Not yet sure whether the encode method should return a byte[] or a
java.nio.ByteBuffer, I think the latter is easier to use.
That would would be an option to consider.

Maarten
