Description

When using this log pattern in a RollingFile appender, the packages are not filtered out:

%5p %d [%t] (%F:%L) %c - %m%ex{filters(org.apache.tomcat.util,org.apache.catalina,org.apache.coyote)}%n

If instead I use:

%5p %d [%t] (%F:%L) %c - %m%xEx{filters(org.apache.tomcat.util,org.apache.catalina,org.apache.coyote)}%n

then they are filtered out.

According to the documentation both should work.
