Yeah, there's a reason I linked to the old docs and not the newer xml-centric stuff. The important bit is to have a well-defined hierarchy of loggers, and be able to configure each level as needed. Indispensable for any large software product. Haven't actually used logback yet myself, but it provides a great set of functionality to shoot for.
