Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-952:
-------------------------------------

I've reviewed and updated the code as much as I can for now.

I think other eyeballs would be good now and more tests are needed for sure, 
and then some Javadocs and documentation.

It turns out that not using a custom factory was simple to do, so that's nice.

Whether this happens in the branch or master does not really matter for now.

The branch could be updated with the latest from master as well.

> 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}
