Email from AsyncFileHandler?

[Mitch Claborn <mi...@claborn.net>]

I recently wrote an extension of org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler that 
will send an email to a specified address if the message is SEVERE or 
higher (in a background thread). Is there any interest in putting that 
ability into AsyncFileHanlder directly?

I can see the use case for that. Some folks might have monitoring for 
their log files that in turn triggers emails as required but I'm sure 
there are some use cases for the email to be triggered directly from Tomcat.

I do have some design concerns. There is lots of configuration that 
might be required for this and the filtering for what does / doesn't 
trigger an email is going to duplicate a lot of the existing Handler 
functionality. I wonder if a separate EmailHandler wouldn't be a cleaner 
implementation.
