I have an appender in my logback xml config:
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"} [%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg %n</pattern>
</encoder>
but it prints out the abbreviated package along with the class, even if I set it to %logger{1} like:
2019-12-19 10:26:16 [main] INFO o.f.d.d.u.Myclass - my message
I want it to just log the class MyClass like log4j does. How?
looks like the number you specify for %logger is some kind of special case and doesnt' exactly dictate size. Except it does dictate size, but never less than a minimum size which is the entire package path with the full class name. Unless you set it to "0" which is a special case to mean "don't include the package".
So if I set it to %logger{0} then I get just the class name, see http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#conversionWord
2019-12-19 10:28:45 [main] INFO MyClass - my message
In log4j the equivalent would have been %c{1} or %logger{1} so I guess it's different.
