It is possible to set properties from a config file. This is documented at: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#variableSubstitution http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#insertFromJNDI LoggerContext properties also survive serialization. However, in future releases I'd like to distinguish between "local" variables which do not survive serialization and "persistent" variables which do survive. You might also be interested to know that you can define your own parsing rules on the fly: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#insertFromJNDI HTH, Joern Huxhorn wrote:
Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to set properties and/or objects of the LoggerContext using a standard joran config file.
At the moment, my own appender has a setApplicationIdentifier so I'm able to easily identify different apps running on the same host. Would it be possible to use the mentioned LoggerContext methods for this?
