    Description

      How does one assign multiple AppenderRef entries to a logger when using JSON syntax? I've tried numerous formats but none of them appear to work. Exampe below.

      "loggers": {
      "logger": [
      {
      "name": "helloWorld",
      "level": "info",
      "additivity": "true",
      "AppenderRef": [

      { "ref": "File Routing Appender" }

      ,

      { "ref": "Database Routing Appender" }

      ]
      }
      ],
      "root": {
      "level": "info",
      "AppenderRef":

      { "ref": "Console Appender" }

      }
      }

      The only way I've been able to hack this (up to a maximum of two AppenderRefs) is to use the appender-ref alias in conjunction with AppenderRef e.g.:
      "loggers": {
      "logger": [

      {
      "name": "helloWorld",
      "level": "info",
      "additivity": "true",
      "AppenderRef":

      { "ref":"File Routing Appender" }

      ,
      "appender-ref":

      { "ref":"Database Routing Appender" }

      }
      ],
      "root": {
      "level": "info",
      "AppenderRef":

      { "ref": "Console Appender" }

      }
      }
