Looks reasonable -- I'll pull the sources and play around with it. anders Sébastien Pennec wrote:
Hello Andy and Anders,
We've modified Joran to add this feature yesterday.
The repository version now allows you to set an <include> element in a configuration file, and set a file="" attribute. This attribute can be specified by using a property.
We could have:
<configuration> <include path="${path.to.file}" /> </configuration>
The target file must use the following elements:
<included> <!-- add here any configuration element: Appender, layout, logger, ... --> </included>
Would that do the trick you, Anders?

I thought that there was some agreement that Joran would (or should) include the capability to include a file based on a system property, which provides exactly the required functionality without making this a special case.
A way to switch the configuration at runtime is a hard requirement for several applications I develop. Making this part of Joran (possibly providing a short sample that gets everything from a property) seems like a great solution that could be helpful in many situations (especially with conditionals and regex captures).
There was an email thread covering this on 2/8.
Thanks, Andy Gerweck

Hello Anders,
If you don't have a J2EE container, using a context selector is a major overkill. If you tell us that it would not be possible to package a different copy of logback.xml in each standalone application, then we will add the functionality you requested, i.e. specifying the configuration file through a system property. (I am not very fond of this feature, but if you really need it, we'll be happy to oblige.)
After you have ascertained that packaging a distinct copy of logback.xml in each application is not an option, could you please you file a bug/enhancement report?

We're not running inside a J2EE container, rather this is a set of standalone applications launched out of the same classpath.
As it stands, I don't think ContextSelector will help, unless there's some custom implementation of that interface that I could put together to do the right thing. I'm not yet familiar enough with logback to answer that myself, so your input is appreciated.
