Joran configuration not working in OSGi environment
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCLASSIC-120
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-120
             Project: logback-classic
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: joran
    Affects Versions: 0.9.15
         Environment: OSGi Service Platform Release 4
            Reporter: Pavol Juhos
            Assignee: Logback dev list


When running in OSGi environment, JoranConfigurator throws a ClassCastException when trying to parse the Logback XML configuration file. The problem seems to be caused by OSGi-unfriendly JAXP parser discovery mechanism as suggested by Dieter Wimberger in his blog post -- http://wimpi.coalevo.net/2008/04/hack-how-to-use-logback.html

"[...] JAXP discovery mechanism assume visibility of the parser through the context ClassLoader of the actual thread, which may cause some troubles."

Observed exception stack trace:

Failed to auto configure default logger context
