title: Anybody used logback in a Mule Application?
body: <p>has anyone been able to use logback for their application deployed in Mule. 
  I have got a file appender configured and got logback.xml in my classpath. However this doesn't seem to get picked up. </p>
  
  <p>Kindly note Mule is stil probably using it's own default log4j implementation as I see mule.log does get some logging though not the ones I am attempting to log - which makes me feel my explicit log events are getting lost alltogether. 
  Mule by default uses log4j but guess we can override that?
  Some documentation here but not too helpful

  <p>What I want is use Logback just for my application without making changes to Mule System level jars and config.</p>
  
  <p>FYI; I am trying to use the following in logback.xml </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"&gt;
          &lt;file&gt;D:\logs\mule\myauto.log&lt;/file&gt;
          &lt;encoder&gt;
                &lt;pattern&gt;%d [%p] &lt;%c&gt; %m%n&lt;/pattern&gt;
          &lt;/encoder&gt;
    &lt;/appender&gt;
  
    &lt;appender name="asyncFileAppender" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender"&gt;
          &lt;appender-ref ref="FILE" /&gt;
    &lt;/appender&gt;
  
    &lt;logger name="automationlogger" level="INFO"&gt;
  
          &lt;appender-ref ref="asyncFileAppender" /&gt;
    &lt;/logger&gt;
  </code></pre>
