Hello Chris, and thanks for your reply actually i'm talking in general, if we have a webapp , a jar or other logback is always the first thing launched, so i'm asking about how ? this way i can do the same with my API.

If so, check out javax.servlet.ServletContextListener, it's your best bet.

My question is how can i start this API (and then logback) at application startup before all the other frameworks and APIs (spring, hibernate, axis...) I mean the same way logback init itself with logback.xml at startup Thanks _______________________________________________ Logback-user mailing list Logback-user@qos.ch http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-user _______________________________________________ Logback-user mailing list Logback-user@qos.ch http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-user
