Hi everybody,

Could it be possible to have a way to configure log4j with xml files ?

I've looked into the code and it looks like the properties files names are 
hardcoded. However we have the need to use xml :

-          We log everything into ELK (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana) using 
SocketAppender

-          Socket appender is synchronous by default and slow whole app if 
anything goes wrong with the ELK

-          We usually add an AsyncAppender on top of the SocketAppender, but 
this sort of configuration is only possible using an XML config file...

We've already ran into the issue. Everything was almost paused because the ELK 
was overloaded and extremely slow.

B.R.
