How Logger instanciation and LoggerRepository are related

[Geir Antonsen <ge...@morecom.no>]

I'm writing my own Configurator (based on the DOMConfigurator) and my own Logger and LoggerFactory to obtain centralized logging in a J2EE environment (by means of JMS/MDB).
This activity has emerged some questions about how the LoggerRepository hierarchy are configured.

When instantiating Logger I use my own MyLoggerFactory which gives me a MyLogger.
But if you ommit declaring class attribute of <logger> then Logger is default loaded.
The same default Logger is loaded even if you add a <categoryFactory> element in the property file.
But it always MyLogger that is used. How come?
