                                    <p><br>
                                      I have a scenario with multiple
                                      Web Applications (so multiple wars
                                      into jetty/webapps dir). Each war
                                      has its own copy of
                                      logback-classic, logback-core and
                                      slf4j-api. There is a common copy
                                      of logback.xml in jetty/resources
                                      (pasted below). My intent is to
                                      maintain a logfile named
                                      "testapp.<date>.log" which
                                      should be used by all the wars for
                                      logging. Further, I want a
                                      rollover of this file on every
                                      startup. I am able to achieve this
                                      except that each war is trying to
                                      create its own version of the log
                                      file so when each war is loaded it
                                      creates its own logfile archiving
                                      the earlier logfile created by the
                                      earlier war. This continues till
                                      all wars are loaded thus creating
                                      these many log files per startup.
                                      The archived files are are named
                                      "testapp.<date>.log.<time
                                      in millisec>.<br>

                                    <p>Is there a way to ask all wars to
