Subject: [logback-user] Programmatically adding appenders 

I have searched, but have been unable to find a way to do this. I need to add 
an appender after configuration has happened. This is because whether or not 
the appender is even wanted is dependent on a runtime condition. I've seen 
plenty of examples using the sifting appender, but I don't want to include the 
appender in the config file because I don't want to create a dependency on the 
appender being there (it's an optional component). 


I've tried this: 

LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(); 
Logger testcase_logger = lc.getLogger("test"); 
logAppender.setContext(testcase_logger.getLoggerContext()); 
testcase_logger.addAppender(logAppender); 


But I never get any logging events (this is a custom log appender). Test is the 
base of all the loggers I want logging to this appender (I want anything with a 
test. at the beginning of the logger name to write to this appender). 


Any ideas? 


My custom appender extends AppenderBase<ILoggingEvent>.
