> 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.
