[logback-user] Logback configuration

[Sebastien Pennec]

Hello Anders,

Could you describe your environment more precisely? We may solve your situation with 
features that are already available in logback.

Would the ContextSelector[1] help in your case? With the ContextSelector, you can 
specify a name for each of your applications' context and the name of the 
configuration file they should use. It uses JNDI to ensure that all applications are 
in a separate environment.

Cheers,

Sébastien
