Thanks for the hint Lance! I feel like this could be the issue. However, I haven't managed to actually find a solution to it. I tried starting my application with -verbose:class, but I can only see one entry of:
[Loaded ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext from file:/yyy/logback-classic-0.9.21.jar]. I suppose there should be multiple of these, if that actually is the problem? Thanks for your help!

This is usually a multiple classloader problem.

Ok, I figured out how to get at least the base logfile:
        LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();       
        for (Logger l : ctx.getLoggerList()) {
            ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger log = (ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger) l;           
            Iterator<Appender<ILoggingEvent>> it = log.iteratorForAppenders();
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                Appender<ILoggingEvent> ap = it.next();
                if (ap instanceof FileAppender<?> || ap instanceof RollingFileAppender<?>) {
                    FileAppender<?> fileAppender = (FileAppender<?>)ap;
                    System.out.println(fileAppender.getFile());
                }
            }
        }

However, when I try to use this code outside of my test environement, I get the following Exception on the first line:
java.lang.ClassCastException: ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext cannot be cast to ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext

Any ideas? I'm currently using Jetty, slf4j and logback. However, it seems that there are still some dependencies on log4j in Jetty that I can't get rid of...

As far as log4j goes, the getAppender function can be used. However, I have not managed to get this one working for logback. Any ideas?

Let's assume the user only changes the logging levels/filter during runtime, nothing else.

Would a change notifier be told of the new filename?  I'm not sure, but it's worth a check.

Everything works fine, however, I'd like to retrieve the filenames of the current logging session since the application started. The user can obviously change the log filenames and policies in logback.xml, so I don't want them hardcoded in the source. My goal is to retrieve these filenames straight within Java in order to do some more processing with them. Is there any possibility in logback/slf4j to retrieve those names?
