In particular Joran supports basic properties where the type of the property is a class containing a `public static valueOf(String str)`. Joran will go through lots of checks before creating an instance of this class (via the valueOf) method and then, at the last second, not use that class instance at all and try to call the property setter with the original string. Naturally, since the setter is expecting specific class instance and not a String instance the call fails with an InvalidArgumentException. The fix is actually quite simple and is contained in this pull request:  https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/pull/442 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.3.1#73012)
