I have a top-level config file logback.xml and another file logback-included.xml. If I set the scan=true in the logback.xml file, will the included file also be scanned for changes? Is scan=true applicable for <included> tag as well? I find that the scanning doesn't happen, when I change the included file. Should I do anything special? --- logback.xml --- <configuration scan="true"> <include file="logback-included.xml" /> </configuration> --- logback-included.xml --- <included scan="true"> <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>mylog.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>mylog.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}</FileNamePattern> </rollingPolicy> <encoder> <pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{15} %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root> </included> _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
