https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/108
The code path is very similar; the tests in
**org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.net** call the appender directly, and
the test in **org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender** applies the appender to
the Logger, and uses the logger to send the event (via the appender). I don't
think there is much benefit with both if we just want to test that the secure
appender can send events. Would you like me to remove the test I added in
SocketAppenderTest? Any suggestions about the initial design of the fix?
