I'm not sure if this answers your question but... Loggers just forward LoggingEvent objects to Appenders. Appenders render the event to some form of output. Typically an Appender will use a Layout object to control how the event is written as text.
Are you logging an object as the message? Do you need to have a custom rendering of that object for each appender? Perhaps you could give a little example.
