Fallback Error Handler

[Milind Rao <mi...@bellsouth.net>]

I need to access the backup appender in the fallback error handler of a primary appender, but there is no method to 
access it and the appender is package private.  I have subclassed the FallbackErrorHandler class to redefine the 
setBackupAppender method and added a getBackupAppender method.

But I was curious as to why there isn't a public accessor.  Is what I'm doing not advisable?



Regards
Milind

Hello Milind,

FallbackErrorHandler was not designed/intended to be sub-classed. Hence, 
the private accessor. If you think there is value in sub-classing 
FallbackErrorHandler we can certainly accomodate your wish. A patch would 
be handy!

I hope this answers your question,
