             Summary: Is there a replacement for DomConfigurator in log4j2?
                 Key: LOG4J2-340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-340
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: Kurt Lehrke


For the company that I work for, our products are layered. In addition to that, 
they're not all always installed together.  Therefore, the server has a base 
logging.xml, but a higher level product might want to add/override one logger.  
This could happen potentially at any level.  This makes an interesting 
challenge for log4j2 only allowing one configuration file.  We got this 
behavior in log4j by using the DomConfigurator.  It would be nice if there was 
a way we could have this in log4j2.  I know having this would be a challenge 
for the automatic configuration detection.  It could use a log4j2 
DomConfigurator that allows us to write out the new "compiled" logging.xml, 
then pass the new file to the ConfigurationSource.  That way, we could still 
get the "compiled" logging.xml and using ConfigurationSource that would still 
allow for automatic configuration detection.  Thoughts?
