Hi, i'm trying to get logback logging working in my Virgo OSGi container. Doing this i'm having some difficulties logging to the rootLogger. Virgo is delivered with a serviceability.xml (which is a renamed logback.xml file). I want to have 'one' logconfiguration (preferabably the serviceability.xml) used by all bundles inside the container. Therefore i've set the VM arg -Dlogback.configurationFile=./config/serviceability.xml. So that the default log configuration is read from that file. When i start the container i see that the logging configuration is setted by default to the ./config/serviceablity.xml (i can see this because i've set the debug to true in the configuration tag of the xml file). In that configuration i've set the root level to info (see file below): <configuration debug="true" scan="true"> <jmxConfigurator/> <appender name="GENERAL" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>./serviceability/logs/GeneralTest.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy"> <fileNamePattern>./serviceability/logs/General.%i.log</fileNamePattern> <minIndex>1</minIndex> <maxIndex>5</maxIndex> </rollingPolicy> <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy"> <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize> </triggeringPolicy> <encoder> <pattern>%-5p %d{ISO8601} [%18.18t] %50.50c : %m%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="GENERAL" /> </root> </configuration> The problem that i'm facing it that when i ask log4j-over-slf4j to get a logger via the code, then the bundle is falling back to the default configuration of logback (not the one set via the VM args, and therefore is logging console of my Eclipse environment. And nothing to the log file. org.apache.log4j.Logger log; log = Logger.getLogger("logger1"); log.error("test123"); The strange thing is that when i add the above descibed logback.xml configuration to the bundle where i'm trying to log (src/main/resources/logback.xml), then the root logger is linked to the logfile and de log line is outputted to the file. Does anyone has an idea what i'm doing wrong? My goal is to set the logconfigation once as VM arg and just call the Logger.GetLogger('id') of any bundle in the container and log the line to the root logger which is descibed in the logconfiguration.
