Hi all, anybody with an idea? I apologize for my impatience. :) Btw: Is there a way to access an appender directly, without a logger? Regards, Johannes Von: Logback-user [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] Im Auftrag von Konstantinidis, Johannes Gesendet: Donnerstag, 18.

Hi all, I have a custom appender and sometimes I want to change its configuration at runtime. I would expect that the appenders are inherited in the same way as the log level. So when I get a Logger for "com.mycompany.foo" and ask for the log level, and I've specified the log level only for the root logger, then I get this log level. But when I ask the same logger for a specific appender (via myLogger.getAppender("myAppender")) and the appender is referenced by the root logger, then I get nothing. It seems that I have to know which logger references the appender. To me this doesn't seem right. Where is my mistake? If I could access the parent logger, then I might climb up the hierarchy and ask the parent loggers for the appender. But I also haven't found a method to get the parent logger.
