Ceki,
The PropertyConfigurator only sets the default category factory when
someone has specified that a different category factory be used (via the
categoryFactory property). Without this behaviour, we are saying go ahead
and specify any factory you want, but you can't use it to instantiate
categories in your code.
Perhaps, as you alluded to, we could make this configurable - something
like
log4j.defaultFactoryOverride=true
would allow a configurator to modify the hierarchy's factory.

Hello Paul,
Having the PropertyConfigurator set the default category is an important
and rather invasive change. I am uncomfortable with it especially because
there is no way to override it. I would like to have it commented out until
we find a better solution. Regards, Ceki
