Gordon Sims updated LBCLASSIC-177:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-Addition-of-AsyncAppender-class-and-tests.patch

Posting on behalf of colleague Derek Libby.  This is what we use at ITA Software.  Derek's comments:

The only real difference between the attached patch and the files 
submitted original to LBCLASSIC-177 is the addition of the 
blockWhenFull parameter which as its name implies instructs the appender 
to either block when the BlockingQueue reaches the queueCapacity 
paramter, or to simply drop messages on the floor.

I also modfied the AsyncAppenderInitializationTest.java file to more 
closely match other initilization tests I found in the logback classic 
project.

> We're using log4j successfully in financial B2B / B2C web applications for years. Now we would like to adopt Logback but therefore we need support for an asynchronous appender decorator like log4js AsyncAppender.
> Attached you can find my take on this kind of appender cobbled together from ideas and code from various places:
