Thomas,
By default *most* log4j appenders flush immediately. In particular, the WriterAppender
and its descendants flush an incoming LoggingEvent immediately.
As for the immediateFlush property mentioned by Steffen, it is set to true by default.
The immediate flush behavior can be overridden by setting immediateFlush to false.
Thus, in principle you should not see any "hanging" logging event messages. If you do,
then you are probably doing something unkosher. Regards, Ceki
