Bart S. commented on LOG4J2-952:
--------------------------------

Let's say the difference is that {{getAssembler()}} means the same as 
{{getSpecificationBuilder()}} and {{getLoggerAssembler()} means the same as 
{{getLoggerSpecificationBuilder}} but the idiom might be more attractive. I yet 
don't know if your assemblers return actual objects or specifications. If they 
return actual objects then there is not much of a compilation taking place.

In that case, with actual objects being returned it is not different than 
having a ConfigurationBuilder that chains "add" methods and takes real e.g. 
ConsoleAppender.Builder objects, except that this is a generic approach using 
parameters for type differentiation rather than using a different builder for 
each specific class.

The idiom is however prettier than using "specificationBuilder". However, it 
might be almost the same thing.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: API, Configurators, Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Joe Merten

> I found [this

> said:
> {quote}
> You could use the static method #initialize(String contextName, ClassLoader 
> loader, String configLocation) in 
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator. (You can pass null for the 
> class loader.) Be aware that this class is not part of the public API so your 
> code may break with any minor release.
> {quote}
> This documentation is unclear because it points to a member function which 
> needs a filename {{configLocation}} where as the topic is »without a 
> configuration file«.
> It shoud rather point to the member function 
> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator.initialize(ClassLoader 
> loader, ConfigurationSource source)}}.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.ConfigurationSource;
> import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator;
> final String hardCodedXmlConfig =
>         "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>\n" +
>         "<Configuration status='INFO'>\n" +
>         "  <Appenders>\n" +
>         "    <Console name='Console' target='SYSTEM_OUT'>\n" +
>         "      <PatternLayout pattern='%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level 
> %logger{36} - %msg%n'/>\n" +
>         "    </Console>\n" +
>         "  </Appenders>\n" +
>         "  <Loggers>\n" +
>         "    <Root level='debug'>\n" +
>         "      <AppenderRef ref='Console'/>\n" +
>         "    </Root>\n" +
>         "  </Loggers>\n" +
>         "</Configuration>\n";
> try {
>     Configurator.initialize(null, new ConfigurationSource(new 
> ByteArrayInputStream(hardCodedXmlConfig.getBytes())));
> } catch (IOException e) {
>     e.printStackTrace();
> }
> {code}
