Hi Joern,<br>
<br>
Plese enter a bug report with as much information as you can about the<br>
code you&#39;d like to see changed.  In principle, very little code is<br>
involved in actually writing to the file so the task would seem rather<br>
easy. However, WriterAppender on which FileAppender and<br>
RollingFileAppender are built upon uses a Writer to write whatever it<br>
is that needs to be written. Unfortunately, a Writer knows how to<br>
writes String or chars, but not bytes.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, I think it&#39;s feasible with some work...<br>

Hi Ceki.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve seen that you are working on the FileAppenders again. Have you seen this mail I wrote? What do you think about it?<br>

*Subject: **Question about a custom binary file appender.*<br>
<br>
Hi Ceki.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to implement a file appender that writes the binary Lilith<br>
format, i.e. gzipped protobuf-serialized events, instead of Strings.<br>
I&#39;d also like to have the same functionality that&#39;s supported by<br>
RollingFileAppender right now.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to simply write bytes instead of<br>
a String. How would you go from here?<br>
Reimplementing everything from the start seems to be a pretty bad idea.<br>
<br>
What do you think about enhancing the RFA so it&#39;s using byte[] instead<br>
of Strings? The current behavior could be implemented using those<br>
methods + string.getBytes(&quot;UTF-8&quot;) or CharsetEncoder...<br>
<br>
Any idea, suggestions?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Joern.<br>
