Ralph Goers commented on LBCLASSIC-176:
---------------------------------------

Rather than write an asynchronous version of every appender it makes more sense to write a single AsynchAppender that can be configured with the appender to be made asynchronous. I have done that but haven't completely tested it. Also, Ceki has mentioned that he likes to avoid creating threads as they create problems. I know of no way to implement the asynchronous behavior without one.

As for the attached code, I'm not sure why it doesn't implement the start and stop methods. Rather than requiring a synchronized block in subAppend, starting the threat in the start method would work better. Also, without the stop method there is no way to shutdown the thread so bad things will happen if the application is redeployed.
