Well, IMHO, a file that includes other files would not be simpler. It seems much simpler to for me to create 3 bat/sh files that do: foo-trace.bat: java -Dch.qos.logback.config=foo/bar/logback-trace.xml Foo foo-debug.bat: java -Dch.qos.logback.config=foo/bar/logback-debug.xml Foo foo.bat: java Foo I might be misunderstanding your file inclusion idea. Is Joran a part of Logback? If so, it introduces a dependency on Logback, which using slf4j is supposed to alleviate. For some background, I am developing a project (www.sf.net/projects/ohla) that has both a library (for clients) and an executable (server).

However, I'd like to limit the number of ways logback can be configured (to ease the brain-footprint of logback on our users.) How about if we allowed a config file to include parts from a different sources? This inclusion feature should allow you to reference a different file. Moreover, since Joran supports variable substitution, you could set the value of the variable through a system property. You would get the feature you are asking for, and we would keep the initialization procedure simple (err, simpler.). WDYT? If you agree, could you please file a bug report asking for inclusion feature in joran/logback? At 07:08 PM 2/8/2007, Newcomb, Michael-P57487 wrote:
If I have multiple tests that measure performance, debugging, vs. ??? I don't want to change the file or have duplicate files in different directories.
Look at the logback examples directory. logback-0.9\logback-examples\src\main\java\chapter2\
There are 3 different configuration files. I don't want any code dependencies on Logback so the only way to configure logback is to use a file called logback.xml or logback-test.xml.
To execute chapter 2 I would have to copy those files to logback.xml or logback-test.xml. Or put them in different directories and rename them all to the same file name.
Thanks, Michael

Hello Michael,
At the moment, logback can load two different files: logback.xml and logback-test.xml. They need to be in the classpath and can be useful to separate the environments, e.g. development and production.
This behavior is usually enough for many situations.
Can you precise your request with a use case that would need a java variable and would not be possible with the actual behavior?
Thanks,
Sébastien
