Resolution: Duplicate
> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider is not extendable

> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider extends AbstractFileConfiguration.
> AbstractFileConfiguration doesn't really do much but provide getters and
> setters for a few things. The main logic is in
> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider in the form of the loadChannels,
> loadSources and loadSinks methods. However, these methods are all private.
> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider exposes the load method as protected,
> which should allow a class extending PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider to
> override it. However, since the previously mentioned methods in
> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider are all private they can't be accessed
> from the extending class.
> In addition, classes extending PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider should be
> provided a load method that accepts a Reader or an InputStream so that they
> can dynamically create the configuration.
> I am building an "embedded Appender" for Log4j 2 and I am essentially having
> to write my configuration handling from scratch since there is not good way
> to extend these classes. Similarly, a JMX implementation would encounter the
> same problems.
