Creation of Sinks
Ingo Rammer · Apress eBooks · 2002
The previous chapter showed you the various kinds of sinks and their synchronous and asynchronous processing of requests. What I have omitted until now is one of the most important steps: the instantiation of sinks and sink chains. Sinks are normally not created directly in either your code or with the definition in configuration files. Instead, a chain of sink providers is set up, which will in turn return the sink chains on demand. This chapter shows you the foundation on which to build your own sinks. The implementation of those custom sinks is presented in Chapter 9.
