Class Zeroconf4log4j

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.log4j.net.Zeroconf4log4j

public class Zeroconf4log4j
extends java.lang.Object

This singleton holds the single instance of the JmDNS instance that is used to broadcast Appender related information via ZeroConf. Once referenced, a single JmDNS instance is created and held. To ensure your JVM exits cleanly you should ensure that you call the shutdown() method to broadcast the disappearance of your devices, and cleanup sockets. (alternatively you can call the close() method on the JmDNS instead, totally up to you...) See http://jmdns.sf.net for more information about JmDNS and ZeroConf.
