Multiple AsyncAppenders -> multiple threads?

[Otis Gospodnetic <ot...@neomeocorp.com>]

Hello,

Reading about AsyncAppender made me want to switch to it from FileAppender.
However, before I do that I'm wondering about the following:

Is the number of threads created by Log4J, when AsyncAppenders are being
used, proportional to the number of AsyncAppenders that one is using/has
defined?
In other words, if I create 20 different AsyncAppenders will that create 20
separate threads, one for each of them?

Thank you,

Otis

Otis,

Yes. That is correct. 

 N AsyncAppenders = N extra threads

However, you can attach multiple appenders to an AsyncAppender. Thus, you can one AsyncAppender that logs to 121 files. Does that make it any clearer? Ceki
