Facade method for configuration by xml: Programmatic configuration should be a single line ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LBCLASSIC-311 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-311 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: New Feature Components: joran Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assignee: Logback dev list

From a user's perspective, it doesn't a bit overkill to copy paste all this stuff:

{code} LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(); try { JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator(); configurator.setContext(context); // Call context.reset() to clear any previous configuration, e.g. default // configuration. For multi-step configuration, omit calling context.reset(). context.reset(); configurator.doConfigure(getClass.getResource("/com/domain/project/logback.xml")); } catch (JoranException je) { // StatusPrinter will handle this } StatusPrinter.printInCaseOfErrorsOrWarnings(context); {code} It would be nicer if we had a simple static facade method, on JoranConfigurator or LoggerContext, that does all that stuff: {code} JoranConfigurator.configure(getClass.getResource("/com/domain/project/logback.xml")); {code} We shouldn't need to understand the internals and the lifecycle of the JoranConfigurator. -- 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
