           Summary: Make ContextSelectors truely pluggable/configurable
           Product: logback-classic
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: logback-dev at qos.ch
        ReportedBy: lars at koedderitzsch.net


Currently the ContextSelectors in Logback are limited to Default and JNDI,
whereas a system property leads to ContextJNDISelector being pulled.
This stuff is all hardcoded therefore not configurable.

I cannot use ContextJNDISelector because of a bug(?) in Websphere 6.1. In WS
6.1. env-entry values are seemingly bound to the JNDI at a very late point.
This leads to that the JNDI lookups fail because Logback initializes (through
jlc-over-sl4j) way earlier in the application startup phase.
It boils down to that I cannot use ContextJNDISelector in WS 6.1.

For this reason I wanted to provide a custom ContextSelector to Logback, which
is currently not possible.
