Hi At the risk of beeing annoying, I repost my question - in our production environment this is really a problem: -----Original Message----- From: Logback-user [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of Mike Müller Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 10:00 AM To: 'logback-user@qos.ch' Subject: [logback-user] ReconfigureOnChangeFilter does not reuse context properties? Hi I'm using a config file wich looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="60 seconds" > <appender name="cms" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <file>${pathToLogs}mysign-cms.log</file> <Append>false</Append> <encoder> <pattern>%d %30.30t %-5p %45.45c - %m%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <appender name="R" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <file>${pathToLogs}log.log</file> <Append>false</Append> <encoder> <pattern>%d %30.30t %-5p %45.45c - %m%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <logger name="ch.mysign" additivity="false" level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="cms"/> </logger> <root level="WARN"> <appender-ref ref="R"/> </root> </configuration> The parameter ${pathToLogs} comes from the following code: LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(); try { JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator(); configurator.setContext( context ); context.reset(); context.putProperty( "pathToLog", "my-path-to-the-external-logs" ); configurator.doConfigure("my-logback-config.xml" ); } catch ( JoranException je ) { System.out.println( je.getMessage() ); } If I change the config file, the property "pathToLog" gets lost. Is this the same issue as descibed in [1]? If yes, is it a problem to reuse the context or at least the properties of the old context?
