Hi,
I have a bit of strange problem that I do not understand at all.
I am working on sorting out a bit of a nightmare at work. We have 100s of project that get mixed in various way into applications packaged in war's and ear's. There are a number of logging technologies uses through these projects including logback, log4j, slf4j and JCL. (It's a goodness I have not found JUL yet:)
On of the issues I am working on is to reduce the noise from third party libraries. I tracked down some of this to JCL being used and eventually logback getting control of the output. As a quick fix while I sort a proper strategy I decided to add a logback.xml configuration to one of the applications. Sure enough all of the debug noise from the third party libraries subsided. As I next step I tried to turn the debug back on and oddly I cannot. If I rename logback.xml the debug message start again. This seems so straightforward I cannot imagine what I am doing wrong. The two version of the configuration file follow.
=== INFO Level
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>
=== DEBUG Level
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>
Any ideas of where I am going wrong would be very appreciated.
Many thanks,
Joel
