I’ve a web application war file with a minimal logback.xml file in its WEB-INF/classes folder, which then uses a JNDI env variable to pull in a config file that is external to the application. This greatly facilitates deployment because I can override the env variable when I deploy the war (e.g. in Tomcat, a context.xml file) and specify the external location of the file, allowing me to deploy the war unchanged on different platforms and environments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">But… I was hoping that having “scan=true” in the logback.xml file would allow me to alter the runtime logback configuration without restarting the context, but it doesn’t seem to be working.</span></p>
