Description

I have a log4j2.xml configuration file from which I am getting the Logger, attached is the snapshot. when my logger is created a new thread is created.

Programmatically,I create a RollingFileAppender and attach the it to AsyncAppender . I attach the Async Appender to the configuration of the log4j.xml, And when I start the Async Appender again a new thread is created.

Is this a bug? because I get a logger a new thread is generated and when I create a async appender another thread is created and both are doing the same job.

Also there is already a asyncappender in my log4j2.xml and I am creating one via program. Will this cause a problem? I did this because I am currently unable to hook my programmatically created appender to the AsyncAppender defined in log4j2.xml.
