I have extracted the SocketServer stuff from log4j-core to new log4j-server module: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1851
That module is in the new logging-log4j-tools repo. However, that repo is not ready for making a release. Is anyone going to do that before the 2.9 release, or should we move the log4j-server module back to the main repo for the time being? -- [image: MagineTV] *Mikael Ståldal* Senior software developer *Magine TV* mikael.stal...@magine.com Grev Turegatan 3 | 114 46 Stockholm, Sweden | www.magine.com Privileged and/or Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
