ContextInitializer.configureByResource(URL url) should properly indicate whether configuration succeeded or not --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-302 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-302 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Improvement Components: Other Affects Versions: 0.9.30 Reporter: David Tonhofer Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor Scenario: - I have a list of resources to be tried in turn for configuration with "first one wins" - Having built the URL, I call "configureByResource(URL url)" Problem: I do not know whether this resulted in successful configuration. -> Case of a resource ending not ending in "xml" or "groovy" ---> Return without error but with any configuration -> Case of a resource ending in "xml" and successful configuration ---> Return without error and successful configuration (and registered as "safe configuration", too) -> Case of a resource ending in "xml" and XML errors ---> Return without error and no config change -> Case of a resource ending in "xml" and I/O exception ---> Return with raised JoranException -> Case of a resource ending in "groovy" and no Groovy ---> Return without error and no config change -> Case of a resource ending in "groovy" and Groovy errors ---> Unsure whether GafferUtil.runGafferConfiguratorOn() can throw Runtime Exceptions from Groovy -> Case of a resource ending in "groovy" and no Groovy errors ---> Return without error and successful configuration This should be made clearer as far as possible: --> One "ConfigurationException" if there was a problem, with the "cause" telling what --> Normal return with "true" --> Configuration successfully changed --> Normal return with "false" --> Configuration was not changed (i.e. a NOP) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
