LogKit LogTargets

[Leo Sutic <le...@inspireinfrastructure.com>]

All,

when I wrap one InputStream in another in Java:

  InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream (...) );

I know that is.close() will close the underlying FileInputStream.

When a LogTarget wraps another:

  LogTarget lt = new AsyncLogTarget( new MyLogTarget( ... ));

Closing the wrapping log target does not close the underlying target.

Is this:

 a. right

 b. wrong

?

If (b) do we: Add a method close() to the LogTarget interface?

/LS

It was intentional .. whether that is right or wrong is up to debate.

I would prefer that we add a 

package org.apache.log.util;

interface Closeable
{
  void close();
}

I think I have a fork of logkit that actually has this ... will go looking and 
see ...
