Description

There are a number of exceptions that log4cxx can output if something bad happens. When this happens, all log4cxx does is to simply output a message(to stdout and/or stderr) instead of propagating that error back up to user-level code.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34356804/log4cxx-try-catch-wont-work-on-domconfiguratorconfigure

This may cause some unexpected behavior with already-existing code, so this needs to be effectively communicated with users and may wait until a major release.
