[slf4j-user] log4j-over-slf4j Category does not have addAppender method?

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Paul,

Contrary to jcl-over-slf4j which is a complete replacement for
commons-logging.jar, log4j-over-slf4j is not a complete replacement
for log4j.jar.

log4j-over-slf4j will work as long as Logger/Category, and
Level/Priority classes are invoked. You cannot invoke or refer to
other classes such as Appender or Layout.

HTH,
