public class InsistentLogger

extends Logger

implements java.lang.Runnable

Wrap instances of this class around any other logger. If the wrapped logger fails to successfully log an entry, then this instance will keep trying to log the entry. example: Logger myLogger = new SerialSocketLogger("localhost", 12345); // set any desired filters or formatters for myLogger // then wrap in an InsistentLogger... myLogger = new InsistentLogger(myLogger,200,60); // now myLogger can be used like any other logger, but with more // reliability in entries reaching their destination
