Does it work if you set the FallbackErrorHandler on the AsyncAppender
and the have a second AsyncAppender for the  FileAppender?

I am having problem using AsyncAppender with the FallbackErrorHandler.

I have
a) a AsyncAppender attached to the root logger.
b) a JMSAppender attached to the AsyncAppender.
c) a FallbackErrorHandler attached to the JMSAppender. The
FallbackErrorHandler specifies the root as a logger (using root-ref tag) and
a FileAppender as the fallback appender (using appender-ref tag).

Now when an error occurs, the the FallbackErrorHandler tries to replace the
JMSAppender with the FileAppender in the root logger! (rather than in the
AsyncAppender).
Unfortunately this does not help, as the root logger keeps sending messages
to the AsyncAppender which then forwards them to the failing JMSAppender.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

If this is a bug then ,I think, the FallbackErrorHandler should be modified
to check each of the loggers, specified to it , to see if any of them have a
AsyncAppender attached.
If it finds one then it should try to switch the primary and backup appender
in that AsyncAppender rather than in the logger.

I got around my issue by modifying the FallbackErrorHandler to do just that.
Could somebody look at the new code and let me know if this was really
required and if yes then if the changes I made are appropriate
Attached is the new code.

I added a new method called "private void removeFromAsync(Logger l)" and
modified the
"public void error(String message, Exception e, int errorCode, LoggingEvent
event)" to call this new method for each logger.

Thanks fro any help.
