Use of default values in appender-refs
--------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-154
URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-154
Project: logback-core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appender
Environment: All
Reporter: David Harrigan
Assignee: Logback dev list
This is referenced also here:

Please can we have the ability to specify default values for appender-refs. I
have a use case where we need to "bake-in" the appender during build-time. I
can do this at the moment for logger level by bringing in a property file
(called override.properties) that can reset the logging level (which is
dependent on the deployment environment and other factors).
Here is a little example:
<property resource="override.properties" />
<logger name="bar.foo" level="${bar.foo.log.level:-info}"
additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="console"/>
</logger>
The bar.foo.log.level is defined in the override.properties file. The correct
file gets inserted for each build type.
I would like to do the following as well:
<logger name="bar.foo" level="${bar.foo.log.level:-info}"
additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="${bar.foo.log.appender:-console}"/>
</logger>
So that I can tell the override where to log to (console for development or log
file, or smtp, or jms, or db for other environments).
This would be so neato if implemented :-)
Thank you.
