Description

Hello,

by using your core.appender.SocketAppender and your core.netSocketServer I found a dissent.

I am using the default setup of the appender with the SerializedLayout. The first send event to the server is properly deserialized. on the second I get an IOException:

log4j java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid type code: AC

I researched the problem and I found a solution here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2393179/streamcorruptedexception-invalid-type-code-ac

The appender creates a new output stream for each log event. It writes every time a header. The listening server don't expect a header the second time. Because of this it crashes.

Sincerely
Robert Breunung
