Author: Carl Harris <ceharris@vt.edu> Date: 2013-04-27 (Sat, 27 Apr 2013) Changed paths: M logback-classic/src/main/java/ch/qos/logback/classic/net/SocketAppender.java Log Message: ----------- marked SocketAppender convenience constructors as deprecated Convenience constructors that are used to set mutable fields that have proper accessors add little value, and they make it more complicated to subclass. Best practice is to use constructor arguments only to initialize fields that are immutable or for which an accessor method cannot be safely provided within the design constraints of the class. The only use of these constructors by logback modules is in the SocketMin class. However, because these constructors were exposed as API (public modifier) there is a chance that other code is using them, therefore marking them as deprecated rather than removing them.
