## org.apache.log4j.helpers
Class OnlyOnceErrorHandler

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.apache.log4j.helpers.OnlyOnceErrorHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ErrorHandler, OptionHandler

public class OnlyOnceErrorHandler
extends Object
implements ErrorHandler

The `OnlyOnceErrorHandler` implements log4j's default error handling policy which consists of emitting a message for the first error in an appender and ignoring all following errors.

The error message is printed on `System.err`.

This policy aims at protecting an otherwise working application from being flooded with error messages when logging fails.

  0.9.0
