[logback-user] Externalized Logback configuration for web applications

[ceki]

Sure. Values for variables can be fetched from JNDI. See [1]. Values 
defined in <context-param> inside the web.xml are available via JNDI. As 
far as I know, all web containers export values defined in 
<context-param> inside the web.xml via JNDI.

Please try the method outlined in [1] and kindly report back on this 
mailing list.
