| The Basic Services provide InfoStreams for reporting
information. Two streams are provided: trace and error.
It is configurable where these streams are directed.
Errors will be printed to the error stream in addition
to being sent to the client.
By default both streams are sent to an error log
for the system. When creating a message for a stream,
you can create an initial entry with header information
and then append to it as many times as desired.
Note: if character encodings are needed, the use of
java.io.*OutputStream's should be replaced with
java.io.*Writer's (assuming the Writer interface
remains stable in JDK1.1)
