> In the .properties config file format, several plugin types currently require you to declare names ahead of time. For instance:
> {code}
> status = ERROR
> filters = Threshold
> filter.Threshold.type = ThresholdFilter
> filter.Threshold.level = DEBUG
> appenders = Stdout
> appender.Stdout.type = Console
> appender.Stdout.name = StdOut
> appender.Stdout.target = SYSTEM_OUT
> appender.Stdout.layout.type = PatternLayout
> appender.Stdout.layout.pattern = %d [%t] %-5level: %msg%n%throwable
> appender.Stdout.filters = marker
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.type = MarkerFilter
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.onMatch = DENY
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.onMisMatch = NEUTRAL
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.marker = FLOW
> loggers = log4j
> logger.log4j.name = org.apache.logging.log4j
> logger.log4j.appenderRefs = console
> logger.log4j.appenderRef.console.ref = StdOut
> logger.log4j.level = DEBUG
> logger.log4j.additivity = false
> rootLogger.appenderRefs = console
> rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = StdOut
> rootLogger.level = ERROR
> {code}
> would be transformed into
> {code}
> status = ERROR
> filter.Threshold.type = ThresholdFilter
> filter.Threshold.level = DEBUG
> appender.Stdout.type = Console
> appender.Stdout.name = StdOut
> appender.Stdout.target = SYSTEM_OUT
> appender.Stdout.layout.type = PatternLayout
> appender.Stdout.layout.pattern = %d [%t] %-5level: %msg%n%throwable
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.type = MarkerFilter
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.onMatch = DENY
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.onMisMatch = NEUTRAL
> appender.Stdout.filter.marker.marker = FLOW
> logger.log4j.name = org.apache.logging.log4j
> logger.log4j.appenderRef.console.ref = StdOut
> logger.log4j.level = DEBUG
> logger.log4j.additivity = false
> rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = StdOut
> rootLogger.level = ERROR
> {code}
> These names should be inferable by their first usage. Then the appenders, filters, loggers, etc., properties can all be safely ignored for backwards compatibility with 2.4/2.5.
