Hello Ravi, This is quite strange because for some name 'n', the JNDI lookup code in logback essentially does InitialContext().lookup(n) the same code that seems to work for you. Could the discrepency be attributed to differences in the class loader for logback and the servlet code which is able to correctly read the JNDI entries? Where are the logback classes located on your application's class path? -- Ceki On 06/06/2011 10:25 PM, Ravikanth Gangarapu wrote:
Hi,
I am using logback-classic (0.9.28) for a web application running on tomcat 5.5.
I am trying to read the JNDI env entry values using the <insertFromJNDI env-entry-name="java:comp/env/stderr-logging" as="stdErrLogging" /> tag in the logback.xml file.
I have lots of env entry values that can be read from META-INF/context.xml file. For this specific example, my context.xml file has this.
<context>
….
<Environment name="stderr-logging" type="java.lang.String" value="true"/>
….
But, this insertFromJNDI tags always says the entry value is null or empty. However, Once I am in a servlet code, new InitialContext().lookup(“java:comp/env/stderr-logging") retrieves the correct value from context xml file.
I looked in the JNDIUtil class from ch.qos.logback.classic.util package and the code throws error saying “javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context”.
Would somebody know how to read the environment entry values from the META-INF/context.xml file ?
Thanks for help
Ravi
