[logback-user] Are special charcters allowed in logger configurations?

[Noman Amir Jamil]

Thanks for the reply Tony, I am glad to know it works and the issue is not
with the square brackets then.

Could it be my appender/logger configuration then? The situation is, under
normal configuration [tomcat's juli logging], my my webapps
writes separately to catalina.log and localhost.log. But when I configure
logback, the catalina.log only has tomcat logging and all my webapps
loggings ends up in localhost.log. Below is my logback.xml:

========================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration>

<statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener"/>

<appender name="CONSOLE"

</appender>

<logger name="org.apache.catalina" level="INFO" additivity="false">

<appender-ref ref="FILE-LOCALHOST" />
</logger>

<root level="INFO">

</root>

</configuration>

========================================================

This is on Windows Server 2008, Tomcat6.

Can you suggest anything to rectify this?
Thanks
