A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
if you invoke the method LogManager.readConfiguration(InputStream), classloading is only done using the system-classloader. The context-classloader is ignored, and there's no other way to override the classloader used.
Especially see the method LogManager.getFormatterProperty(...) which is called by the ConsoleHandler to load it's formatter.
JUSTIFICATION :
Well, if you think of an application, that uses a URLClassLoader to load further parts including formatters, filters, than one will need to set the classloader the Loggin API uses. This is currently not possible, either by explicitly giving a ClassLoader as a parameter, or by setting the context-classloader of the current Thread.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Use the context-classloader of the current Thread, or use the system classloader, if there no context-classloader was set.
ACTUAL -
the system-classloader is used and there's no way to change that.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
none :-(
