-------------------------------

Possible FAQ entry, edited from solution posted by Anton Tagunov:

How to shutdown Logback in web application?

This solution applies, when slf4j and logback jars
* are provided by the web application itself
* not provided as shared jars by the Servlet container

In this particular case you can write a ServletContextListener
that will do the following in contextDestroyed():

public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent servletContextEvent) {
((LoggerContext)LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory()).shutdownAndReset()
}

You will also need to register this context listener in web.xml
<listener>
<listener-class>your.servlet.context.Listener</listener-class>
</listener>
