Hi Felix, The deprecated method in question was removed because it was preventing the decoupling of logback initialization from JoranConfigurator. Copying the method into the Play framework should be a relatively easy exercise. In any case, thank you for letting us know and apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi,
apparently logback-classic 1.4.9 removed the public method `configureByResource` from `ContextInitializer`, thereby breaking backwards compatibility? The method was removed in a commit [1] which made it into 1.4.9. It was deprecated in November of last year: I don't think this deprecation has ever been in a major release? Even if it had, I'd say it's poor form to remove deprecated things in a patch release.
This breaks Play Framework [3] which uses the method for its logging setup, making it impossible to upgrade to this patch version.
Regards, Felix
