        Sends {@link log4cxx::spi::LoggingEvent LoggingEvent} objects in XML format
                to a remote a log server, usually a XMLSocketNode.

        <p>The XMLSocketAppender has the following properties:

        - If sent to a XMLSocketNode, remote logging
                is non-intrusive as far as the log event is concerned. In other
        words, the event will be logged with the same time stamp, {@link
        NDC NDC}, location info as if it were logged locally by
        the client.

        - XMLSocketAppenders use exclusively an XMLLayout. They ship an
        XML stream representing a {@link spi::LoggingEvent LoggingEvent} object
                to the server side.

       - Remote logging uses the TCP protocol. Consequently, if
        the server is reachable, then log events will eventually arrive
        at the server.

        - If the remote server is down, the logging requests are
        simply dropped. However, if and when the server comes back up,
        then event transmission is resumed transparently. This
        transparent reconneciton is performed by a <em>connector</em>
        thread which periodically attempts to connect to the server.

        - Logging events are automatically <em>buffered</em> by the
        native TCP implementation. This means that if the link to server
        is slow but still faster than the rate of (log) event production
        by the client, the client will not be affected by the slow
        network connection. However, if the network connection is slower
        then the rate of event production, then the client can only
        progress at the network rate. In particular, if the network link
        to the the server is down, the client will be blocked.
        @n @n On the other hand, if the network link is up, but the server
        is down, the client will not be blocked when making log requests
        but the log events will be lost due to server unavailability.

        - Even if an <code>XMLSocketAppender</code> is no longer
        attached to any logger, it will not be destroyed in
        the presence of a connector thread. A connector thread exists
        only if the connection to the server is down. To avoid this
        destruction problem, you should #close the the
        <code>XMLSocketAppender</code> explicitly. See also next item.
        @n @n Long lived applications which create/destroy many
        <code>XMLSocketAppender</code> instances should be aware of this
        destruction problem. Most other applications can safely
        ignore it.

        - If the application hosting the <code>XMLSocketAppender</code>
                exits before the <code>XMLSocketAppender</code> is closed either
        explicitly or subsequent to destruction, then there might
        be untransmitted data in the pipe which might be lost.
        @n @n To avoid lost data, it is usually sufficient to
        #close the <code>XMLSocketAppender</code> either explicitly or by
        calling the LogManager#shutdown method
        before exiting the application.
