Hello List,

I'm using the DBAppender with Logback 1.0.7 and I'm getting the following 
Exception:

11:54:18,066 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.access.db.DBAppender[DB] - problem

        at      at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)"

I'm not quite certain what the problem is, but I was looking through the code 
and have found the following:
Logger.appendLoopOnAppenders has ILoggingEvent as an Parameter, this Parameter 
is passed through to the AppenderAttachableImpl.appendLoopOnAppenders, which is 
ok as the AAI is typed as AAI<ILoggingEvent>. The AAI has a List<Appender<E>> 
where E seems to be bound to the Type of the AAI, which is ILoggingEvent. 
UnsynchronizedAppenderBase is still typed as ILoggingEvent and therefore 
UnsynchronizedAppenderBase.doAppend takes an ILoggingEvent as Parameter and 
passes that through to ch.qos.logback.core.db.DBAppender.append, where we are 
leaving package ch.qos.logback.core.db for ch.qos.logback.access.db and the 
DBAppender there (a child of the core-DBAppender) is typed as 
DBAppender<IAccessEvent>, hence the ClassCastException. 

What I'm not getting is, why the code compiled originally, because clearly the 
DBAppender cannot be typed ILoggingEvent and IAccessEvent at the same time. 

I appreciate any help or pointers because searching the web gives nothing 
useful and I'm really stuck here.

Kind regards,
Jonathan

My configuration is pretty much straight forward, stolen from the example:
<configuration>
        <statusListener 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />
        <appender name="DB" class="ch.qos.logback.access.db.DBAppender">
                <connectionSource
                        
class="ch.qos.logback.core.db.DriverManagerConnectionSource">
                        <driverClass>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClass>
                        <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/logbackdb</url>
                        <user>root</user>
                        <password>mysqlroot</password>
                </connectionSource>
                <insertHeaders>false</insertHeaders>
        </appender>

        <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
                <!-- encoders are assigned the type 
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder 
                        by default -->
                <encoder>
                        <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level - 
%msg%n</pattern>
                </encoder>
        </appender>

        <root level="debug">
                <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
        </root>

        <logger name="logexample" additivity="false">
                <appender-ref ref="DB" />
        </logger>
</configuration>
