"Sets the log level to null” - which log level? The root, a particular logger,
or a Threshold Filter on a particular appender? FWIW, in Log4j 1 setting the
log level to null on a Logger just means it will inherit from its parent. That
is not necessarily the case in Log4j 2.
“Then loads the property file” - what property file? The log4j 2 configuration
file? Why would you set the log sell to null before reloaded the
configuration?
“Without losing any appenders created with Java” - How are the appenders
created with Java and why are they created with Java? You could use a composite
configuration that adds your the “standard” configuration to what a user
provides or you could extend XMLConfiguratoin with your own extra configuration.
In short, you still haven’t described what you want the resultant behavior to
be. You are still describing “How?” instead of “What?”. In other words -
something like - “We want to require that a specific logger is always logged at
error and those logs are always routed to a file named xxxx, regardless of what
other things the user might configure”.
