[logback-user] Can't set level (logback.classic-0.9.9)

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello,

0.9.9 is the reason. Only logback versoins 0.9.12 and later accept level as an 
attribute:

<root level="error">
   ...
</root>

for "older" versions, the level has be specified as an element:

<root>
    <level>error</level>
</root>

Of course, logback versions 0.9.12 honor the old format as well. In any case, 
level values are case insensitive.

HTH,
