[logback-user] Is it possible to acces MDC values as properties?

[Ralph Goers]

I'm not understanding what you are doing. There are ways to do what you want without resorting to what you have below. For example, the sifting appender will route data to different log files.

When Logback reconfigures it removes all the filters and appenders that have been configured and for a time the loggers have no configuration at all. I then uses your new configuration to add back the filters and appenders and have the loggers reference them. Thus, you will lose everything you configured programmatically when you update logback.xml.
