ContextListener that stops the LoggerContext when using DefaultContextSelector
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCLASSIC-141
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-141
             Project: logback-classic
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.9.15
            Reporter: Paul Nyheim
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Minor


When using the "The simplest and easiest approach" to configure logback as described here: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/loggingSeparation.html, The LoggerContext never gets stopped when the application is redeployed in an applicationserver.

This causes both memory leaks, and an unability to Rename log files using RollingFileAppender because several handles to the log file exists.

An easy solution to this is to stop the LoggerContext in a ServletContextListener - much the same as for the ContextJNDISelector using ContextDetachingSCL.

I will upload a file - based on the ContextDetatchingSCL which does the job.
