Problem locating logback.xml from JEE deployment
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCLASSIC-222
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-222
             Project: logback-classic
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: 0.9.21
         Environment: Glassfish 2.1
            Reporter: Rob Betgem
            Assignee: Logback dev list


Logback seems to have a problem in locating the logback.xml configuration while being deployed as part of an EAR app on Glassfish. This incapability exists because the logback classic ContextInitializer class tries to locate the resource through a local classloader instead of the current thread context classloader. In some JEE app servers things are guaranteed to break if you try to locate resources with local classloaders.

The findURLOfDefaultConfigurationFile method of the ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextInitializer class retrieves its current classloader with getClassLoader(). The current classloader returned during glassfish startup is not able to sense to full context of the deployed ear.  At this startup stage it will return the ASURLClassloader instead of the needed EJBClassLoader.

I fixed the problem by supplying the context class loader with Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(). 

Could anybody please change this in one of the future releases.

Thanks Rob
