Re: [logback-user] Separating the logging-output of libraries in tomcat/shared

      1) You can only have *one *nested-appender within SiftingAppender.

To manage *two* nested appender families, create *two* sifted appenders.

2) <FileNamePattern>tbank-${contextName}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.zip looks
suspicious, it should probably be
<File>${catalina.home}/logs/tbank/tbank-${contextName}.d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.zip</File>

3) Since you are going to share the same configuration file between
all contexts, you should override the JNDIContextSelector convention
and explicitly define the "logback/configuration-resource" to point to
the same file.  Include the following in each web.xml. The path to the
logback should be the same (shared).

<env-entry>
   <env-entry-name>logback/configuration-resource</env-entry-name>
   <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
   <env-entry-value>c:/my_shared_logback_config.xml</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>

Alternatively you could follow the convention and have different
logback configuration files with identical contents (which is rather
silly in this case).

I hope this helps,

I read in manual (http://logback.qos.ch/manual/loggingSeparation.html) that :
"
Assuming you have enabled ContextJNDISelector, logging for Kenobi will be
done using a logger context named "kenobi". Moreover, the "kenobi" logger
context will be initialized by convention using the configuration file
called logback-kenobi.xml which should be packaged within Kenobi
web-application under the WEB-INF/classes folder.

And 2nd question:
can I use next configuration for SIFT appender - with two underlying
appenders
