[logback-dev] Official "Holler!" concerning my topic on stackoverflow.com

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hi Joern,

To set the level of a logger:

   import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;

   LoggerContext loggerContext = (LoggerContext) loggerFactory;
   Logger logger = (Logger) loggerContext.getLogger("a.name");
   Level oldLevel = logger.getLevel();
   logger.setLevel(Level.a_level_of_your choice);


To create an appender, there are a bunch of examples under
http://logback.qos.ch/xref-test/ch/qos/logback/core/rolling/package-summary.html
see for example
http://logback.qos.ch/xref-test/ch/qos/logback/core/rolling/RenamingTest.html

Once you create an appender, you can easily associate it with a logger

   logger.addAppender(appender);

You can later remove it by invoking

   logger.detachAppender(appender) // detach by appender reference
or
   logger.detachAppender("appender name"); // detach by name

Let me know if you have further questions. HTH,
