To avoid this we can replace [these|https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/blob/master/logback-core/src/main/java/ch/...] lines with the *writeOut(event)* method. Now if someone wants to extend OutputStreamAppender he can just override *writeOut* method.   Also, the *writeBytes* method in OutputStreamAppender is private so we have to copy the function in our appender which is not desirable. (We can make *writeBytes* protected for this) ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.8.0#808000-sha1:e2c7e59)
