Please see http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#auto_configuration Item 3 is what the jar provides, so you just need item 1 or item 2 to succeed. The easiest is renaming your logback.xml to logback-test.xml Best regards, /Thorbjørn -----Original Message----- From: logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of Sebastian Esponda Sent: 15. november 2012 00:30 To: logback-user@qos.ch Subject: [logback-user] ignoring logback.xml files embedded in other jars Hello, We are developing a web application that has its logging configuration under /classes. Unfortunately, we depend on another JAR (which we can't modify) which also has a its own logback.xml file. During the startup process logback detects and uses both files. Is there any way to set it up so that the one included in the JAR is ignored?
