When the mongodb4 appender was created for log4j2, the ability to specify a factory class/method in the log4j2.xml file was removed, and the configuration option was instead reverted to requiring a simple connection string.
Was there a technical reason why that needed to happen, or was it just for simplicity at dev time? I've been relying on the factory approach, as the database credentials are not known until run-time in my use-case. I was also looking forward to having a mongodb4 version to upgrade to, but as it stands now this is unfortunately not giving me what I need. Thanks!
