Hi, I am using logback for restful webservices over jersey api.. using apache server. I have created logback file like the following... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="2 seconds"> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender" > <encoder> <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="debug"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> </configuration> and in my code i have written.. Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AuthenticateResource.class); logger.debug("Hello world."); when i run my code.. Hello world is being displayed.. now if i change my root level to info in logback.xml and if i run the code without restarting the server. Hello world is being displayed.. but, it should not be displayed.. Do I need to add anything such that the file loads automatically and stop debug messages to display without restarting my server. thanks and regards, Siva. -- View this message in context: http://logback.10977.n7.nabble.com/Important-Dynamically-change-the-scan-per...
