Appenders may delegate their error handling to
ErrorHandlers .
Error handling is a particularly tedious to get right because by
definition errors are hard to predict and to reproduce.
Please take the time to contact the author in case you discover
that errors are not properly handled. You are most welcome to
suggest new error handling policies or criticize existing policies.
