NullAppender

public class NullAppender extends AppenderSkeleton
A bogus appender which calls the format method of its layout object but does not write the result anywhere.

The org.apache.log4j.performance.NullAppender class is intended for internal use only. Consequently, it is not included in the log4j.jar file.
