Just for the record, the servlet specification (or is it the Java EE) does not allow you to write to the file system, making your application subtly vendor dependent. We therefore use the jdk14 bridge instead of logback to use the container logging instead. /Thorbjørn -----Original Message----- From: logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of Richard Sand Sent: 31. januar 2013 20:40 To: logback-user@qos.ch Subject: Re: [logback-user] Externalized Logback configuration for web applications Is it possible to grab the value of the filename from the context of the web application itself, e.g. a <context-param> inside the web.xml? Idea here is that this can be overridden by a context.xml at deployment time, to externalize the filename without disturbing the web application archive, and without needing JNDI. e.g. so: <include file="/opt/logback-A.xml"> becomes: <include file="${some-value-from-deployment-descriptor}"> Thanks!
