Yes, but you don't need to set the properties.  You just need to
instanciate it.  The configurator will set the appenders and priority
level.  The factory will set the attributes.

Only the hostname gets created on the fly.  Server name, component name and
version name are blank by default.

I took a look and didn't find any either. I will look to do something about
that as well.
