Yes but that will not help me a lot : <br><br>My original question was about logback how it can always starts first whatever is the context (webapp, command line...) means if i put a logback.xml in my classpath in a webapp i dont need to start a servlet or anything, logback will init alone. <br><br>So if i can understund how it can starts i can do the same .<br><br>Thanks David<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: <a href="mailto:nabble@diroussel.xsmail.com">nabble@diroussel.xsmail.com</a><br>Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 23:01:05 +0100<br>To: <a href="mailto:logback-user@qos.ch">logback-user@qos.ch</a><br>Subject: Re: [logback-user] How to start my logback before anything in an application<br><br>

<br>Hello David, sorry about it, <br><br>My question is in general : as i do a code based configuration using Joran configurator : if i have some frameworks in my applications (a webapp or a jar ....) . those frameworks will init before my api, so they will send some logs to stdout or whatever. <br><br>My goal : is how can i be sure that my api (which use logback ) is always initialized firt before all the other. <br><br>is that possible ? <br><br>If i use a logback.xml i see that logback is always the firt launched. so how can i do the same <br><br>Thanks <br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">CC: <a href="mailto:logback-user@qos.ch">logback-user@qos.ch</a><br>From: <a href="mailto:nabble@diroussel.xsmail.com">nabble@diroussel.xsmail.com</a><br>Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:15:45 +0100<br>To: <a href="mailto:logback-user@qos.ch">logback-user@qos.ch</a><br>Subject: Re: [logback-user] How to start my logback before anything in an application<br><br>
<div>And if it's a command line tool, just initialise log back manually before you create any loggers. </div><div><br></div><div>(Mohammed: please create a new email for a new thread.

Hello, <br><br>I have actually an API which use logback and add some specific functions. this API initialize logback in code : joranConfigurator(myconfig.file) <br><br>I dont have any logback.xml in my classpath.<br><br>
My question is how can i start this API (and then logback) at application startup before all the other frameworks and APIs (spring, hibernate, axis...) <br><br>I mean the same way logback init itself with logback.xml at startup<br>
