Hello Matt,
this sounds great however it doesn't work.
Maybe it is a bug ?
what I do is :
final LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
Configuration cfg = ctx.getConfiguration();
if (cfg instanceof XmlConfiguration) {
//add logger if not added
LoggerConfig logger = ((XmlConfiguration)
cfg).getLogger(loggerName);
if (logger == null) {
logger = new LoggerConfig(loggerName, Level.DEBUG,
false); //here this false is for the additive
cfg.addLogger(loggerName, logger);
} else { //change the level leave it as it is
logger.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);
}
logger.addAppender(newAppender, Level.DEBUG, null);
ctx.updateLoggers(cfg);
}
Still .. all root loggers also receive the log message(s) together with
this new appender that is passed here.
I am using 2.0 final
