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

Ralph,
that sounds pretty awesome!

Are there any other downsides/shortcomings compared to the Logback way beside the (IMHO very acceptable) one while switching configuration?
It sounds like the actual switching would be very fast. (Optionally) locking the whole system during a switch to prevent that issue might be feasible in that case.

> When logging with scan="true" it is possible to stop all logging of an application silently.
> Steps to reproduce:
> - start an application with valid configuration and scan=true
> - break the logback.xml (leave out a quote or something)
> -> log goes silent
> Expected behavior:
> Logger fails to load new config and keeps running on the old configuration (like when valid xml, but invalid configuration is loaded).
