             Summary: Reconfigure with scan feature ignores changes made to JoranConfigurator
                 Key: LOGBACK-1408
                 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1408
             Project: logback
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.1.7
            Reporter: Eyal Roth
            Assignee: Logback dev list


Whatever changes made problematically to {{JoranConfigurator}} prior to loading the configuration are being ignored by the re-configuration introduced in the "scan" feature.

The code at {{ReconfigureOnChangeTask}} creates a new configurator and also resets the context, which may contain some desired settings for the configurations - say, substitution properties discovered only at runtime.

The official documentation [clearly states|https://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#joranDirectly] that modifying the configurator manually is a valid way to go with, so this is why this is considered a bug IMHO.

I'm seeing multiple issues which are most likely related to this problem: LOGBACK-485, LOGBACK-592, LOGBACK-1059.

I ended up dumping the scan feature and implementing on my own using Java's {{WatchService}} (LOGBACK-1073).
