Hello Ceki,

thank you for your answer! I tried your examples but no luck. Actually now I think the error that is given to me mentions that any entry starting with "java:*" will be not read. The message is in german but I translated it:

ERROR in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.InsertFromJNDIAction - Failed to lookup JNDI env-entry [java:global/stibam] javax.naming.NamingException: CWNEN1000E: A JNDI operation for a java:comp/env- Names cannot be executed because the current thread is not associated with a Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) application component. This condition can occur when the JNDI client using the java:comp/env name is not in the thread of a server application request. Ensure that a Java EE application does not perform JNDI operations on java:comp/env names in static code blocks or in threads created by that application. Such code is not necessarily executed in a server application request thread and is therefore not supported by JNDI operations on java:comp/env names.


As a workaround, to not having to use JNDI, I just used the actual filepath in the logback.xml as:
<File>"${server.output.dir}logs/log-output.log</File>

Which solves the first problem but now logback doesn't seem to be able to acces the file (if i copy and paste the filepath from the log output following I can open that file with explorer):. If I start my program I get the following log output.

23:16:12,543 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[RollApp] - Active log file name: "F:/server/wlp-ev-21.0.0.11/usr/servers/defaultServer/logs/log-output.log

I guess this has more to do with my project setup now.

Hello Hendrik,

The new JNDI naming restriction is intended to prevent malicious JNDI
attacks in configuration files.

Do you know which Jakarta/EE/JavaEE specification WebSphere Liberty 21
implements? I would suggest reading section "Application Component
Environment Namespace" in the relevant document.

You might try to use one of the following namespaces:

 java:comp, java:module, java:app, java:global

with and without the env/ suffix.
