Hi all, the Spring framework offers inheritance for their xml configuration. http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.2.2.RELEASE/spring-framework-re... Maybe you can get some inspiration from it. For instance, you have to identify the elements you want to override. Spring uses the bean name for it and a parent-attribute. Logback may use the type (appender, logger, etc.) and the name. Spring offers an import mechanism: you can define a path and/or name templates to scan for additional files ("Composing XML-based configuration metadata"). This would also reduce classloading issues, because you always look for the defined (or default) logback configuration (f.i. logback.xml) and then import additional files (f.i. logback\logback-extended.xml) Regards, Johannes -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Logback-user [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] Im Auftrag von David Roussel Gesendet: Sonntag, 5.

Hi,

Is it possible to discuss http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-857 on this list? I'd like to get your feedback.

I would send you a patch if I could, but I'm not sure how to implement the actual configuration merging process.
