Hi Yoel, Property files are not watched for changes. I don't feel it is a widely needed feature so we probably won't implement it. However, you could write a property action which adds the property file to the list of scanned files. Joran is not limited to the built-in rules. You can add new rules on the fly. See [1] for details. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you get stuck. -- Ceki http://twitter.com/#!/ceki [1] http://logback.qos.ch/manual/onJoran.html#newRule On 04/11/2011 3:36 PM, Yoel Spotts wrote:
As described in the manual, one can set logback so that the logback config file is scanned for modifications by including the scan attribute on the <configuration> tag.
However, if a property file is defined for property substitution with the <property> tag, that property file is NOT scanned for modifications.
Is it possible to set up the property file to be scanned for changes?
If not, can I make a feature request to add this ability – maybe add a “scan” attribute to the <property> tag which would add the property file to the Config watcher list.
Thanks!
