Can't set RequestLogImpl to use a logback-access.xml file via a classpath path
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBACCESS-26
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBACCESS-26
             Project: logback-access
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.28
            Reporter: Marshall Pierce
            Assignee: Logback dev list


(Affects 0.9.30, the latest version at the moment)

ch.qos.logback.access.jetty.v7.RequestLogImpl has setFileName, the result of which is then handed to File's constructor. This is fine when you're deploying inside a standalone jetty that has the jetty.home property set to a filesystem path, but when you're using embedded jetty, you don't have any of that. Instead I'd like to be able to have it find "/logback-access.xml" in the classpath just the way logback classic does with "/logback.xml".

I'm happy to implement the patch; just let me know how you'd like it to be done. One way would be to provide a setter on RLImpl that takes a URL which, if specified, takes precedence over the filename.

As a workaround I'm creating a JoranConfigurator and using its doConfigure(URL) method on a URL loaded from the classpath. This works, but it'd be nice to not have to do that.
