Hi guys,
I recently switched to logback, and im trying to use JNDI to configure logback for webapps running in tomcat 6.
What i want to do is configure logging for each webapp using a different configuration file for each tomcat context. The logback configurations must be external to the wars and to the tomcat installation. Furthermore i cant rely on environment variables or -D options to the tomcat.
The only solution, i have come up with so far is to pack a skeleton logback configuration file in the war, which uses logbacks JNDI and include mechanisms to locate and include a file containing the real configuration like so:
<configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="5 minutes"> <insertFromJNDI env-entry-name="java:comp/env/appName/logback" as="logbackConfiguration"/>
<include url="${logbackConfiguration}"/>
</configuration>
While this does work, i would prefer being able to lookup the full configuration directly.
Is there a way to do this, or could one be added?
Hi Bjorn, The solution you came up iwth, that is JNDI+Include, is in my opinion quite good. It's the recommended approach to the problem specification you describe. The include mechanism is fully supported, it even works with auto-scan. Could you describe the alternative solution you have in mind? -- Ceki http://twitter.com/#!/ceki
