[JIRA] Created: (LBSITE-20) Logback autoconfiguration documentation is misleading
Logback autoconfiguration documentation is misleading ----------------------------------------------------- Key: LBSITE-20 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBSITE-20 Project: logback-site Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 0.9.9, 0.9.10 Reporter: Szel Zoltan Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor Hello all, we have hit this problem a couple of times so i think it worth rising it. The Logback documentation about autoconfiguration says: Logback tries to find a file called logback-test.xml in the classpath. If no such file is found, it checks for the file logback.xml. In case neither file is found, logback configures itself automatically using the BasicConfigurator which will cause logging output to be directed on the console. This is very misleading, one might think he/she can put the logback.xml file anywhere in the classpath but Logback will find it only if it is in the top of the classpath(e.g.: right under the packages folder). Could you please fix the docs?

[ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBSITE-20?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.is... ] Ceki Gulcu resolved LBSITE-20. ------------------------------ Fix Version/s: 0.9.15 Resolution: Fixed Hello Zoltan, Thank you for this report. Revision 2117 committed a few moments ago adds a FAQ entry relating to the location of config files on the class path. The section on logback initialization references this FAQ entry, thus fixing this bug.
