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.

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?

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.
