Load configuration without instantiating ecverything

[Yves Desfossés <yd...@videotron.ca>]

Hi, 

Is there a way to read the log4J configuration, I mean all the loggers
and the Appenders, either from a property file or a XML file without
instantiating and initializing everything.

The problem is when I call: 
	Enumeration e = LogManager.getCurrentLoggers();
It loads everything in memory and initializes all the loggers found in
the config files.

The reason I want to do that is to verify that the paths configured in
my DailyRollingFileAppender and RollingFileAppender exist, because if
they don't exist, I would prefer to create them before LOG4J throws an
exception.

Is there any other way to be sure that my paths exists before Log4j
tries to instantiaite those loggers?
