This question was raised on this list numerous times. I suggest reading the following thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=102274371508502&w=2 Chapters 8, 9 and Q 11.11 of the complete manual cover the question of sub-classing. Nevertheless, I think that they don't deal with the question very well. The final version of the manual is sure to fix this. I can safely say that buying the book and reading its contents will let you take a more informed decision. However, as the author of the manual, I can't deny that my opinion can only be biased.
