Attila Király updated LBCORE-198:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: logback-sample.war

Attaching an example webapp. It contains a logback.xml in a jar file in the lib folder and an index.jsp that triggers configuration. Deploy it to a servlet container visit index.jsp and watch server log/console. I get this:

19:46:53,818 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback.groovy]

> If logback.xml is not available as a file (for example it is in a jar in the lib folder of a webapp) logback logs an error during configuration. The reason is that in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.ConfigurationWatchList.convertToFile(URL) method it tries to convert the url to file and if it fails it marks this as an error. Imho it should simply silently not do anything in this case.
