[logback-user] logback and concurrency

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hi Xavier,

Logback is indeed thread safe. It means that you can perform logging from 
multiple threads. You can even reconfigure logback while other threads are still 
logging.

We recommended pattern that logger be stored as instance variables. See also

I hope this helps,
