Logback only outputs its status messages when there is a warning or error - in this case Logback thinks that you have two logback.xml files on the classpath. As they have the same path, it looks like Logback is wrong. Are you using WebLogic? There was a similar issue with SLF4J wrongly thinking there were multiple bindings on the classpath. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Mahar" <derek.mahar@gmail.com> To: logback-user@qos.ch Sent: Wednesday, 4 August, 2010 4:26:06 PM Subject: [logback-user] Suppress or redirect Logback's internal status messages?
