You can either reset the Configurator but I would ot advise that solution. Why don't you add your own factory a parameter where you can mention the type of theAppender you wanna add ?
Smthg like : public static Appender Factory.getAppender (Object, APPENDER_TYPE) { // Make it singelton // ... switch (APPENDER_TYPE) { case NULL_APPENDER : return new NullAppender (); case STDOUT_APPENDER : return ...; case FILE_APPENDER : return ...; default : return NullAppender (); } } -- Thomas SMETS rue J.
