Hi! Sorry for the delay in answering, I'm just back to the keyboard, but only for a few minutes...

I now totaly agree, that a StreamOutputHandler is more than usefull. That gives the user the possibility to handle his special needs beside of that what is implemented in the current logger. - But even now, it could be implemented and give it to the implementation of the logger as the output-handler of a new "channel". But nevertheless, a StreamOutputHandler should be contained in the logger. Even as a superclass for File-output-handling and whatever.

But as I understand, it seems to me, that we use the logging a bit different. (Please don't understand me wrong, the discussion is really interesting for me!)

Logging (for me) should be a black box. I don't care, to what my logging is written and if I need a special action at the start/end of the logging. (e.g. opening/closing the log-file, Flushing the output or: writing the log as an html-file, you need some closing </body></html> at the end of the log-file) beside of a configuration-file, which could be altered without rewriting program-code.

Time is running...

Would be nice if we end up with a logging-utility, that serves most of our all needs...

Regards,
Joachim.
