It seems you have a point there, %X{propname} creates the same output as %properties{propname}
The javadoc on those to conversion patterns though suggests that this are two different patterns: _X_ -- Used to output _the MDC_ (mapped diagnostic context) associated with _the thread_ that generated the logging event... _properties_ -- Used to output _the Properties_ associated with the _logging event_... This is at best misleading and imo rather a bug in the documentation. @All: Thanks for your help :-) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Curt Arnold [mailto:curt.ar...@gmail.com] Im Auftrag von Curt Arnold Gesendet: Montag, 10.
