[logback-user] Bridging Log4J over SLF4J and the lack of Log4J Logger.setLevel()

[ceki]

Hi Mark,

Assuming the Logger class you are referring is in package
org.apache.log4j and by "bridging log4j-over-slf4j" you are referring
to the log4j-over-slf4j module shipping with slf4j, then the setLevel()
method in Logger is missing. Please file a bug report at
http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/ so that this omission can be fixed (with a
nop implementation of said method).
