<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px">Hi,</p>
<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"><br>
</p>
<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px">I have developed a custom appender for logback and would like to configure it with a generic set of Properties that I can pass on to the underlying libraries. Rather than create a Getter
and Setter for each property that the underlying library uses, I would like the configuration to read the *names* of the properties out of the logback configuration file.</p>

<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px">I would like to write something like this:</p>

<p style="font-size:16px; font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</p>
Does the Joran Configurator have the capability to parse a configuration file, generate a Properties object, and then hand it off to the Appender?</div>

I have looked around and have not been able to identify any guidance for this use case. I have discovered the nested element capability and the "class" attribute, but have not been able to build a mapped structure. </div>
