Thanks Curt, that was it... I figured it out early this morning when I looked at the source and it was looking in a map for the class, then in RollingFileAppender I saw some sort of registration going on. I added that to the code and now it works! Wish I had looked at the source sooner, would have saved me a few days of random guessing.

Your appender should have a macro expansion like: IMPLEMENT_LOG4CXX_OBJECT(DailyRollingFileAppender) that contains the registration code. You can set a breakpoint there (depending on your debugger, you may need to manually expand) and on the configurator and see the order that they fire and whether the registration code gets called at all. If you have built your appender in a DLL or shared library, are you forcing the library to load to trigger the registration?
