[logback-user] add property for specifying logback.xml filelocation

[Newcomb, Michael-P57487]

If I have multiple tests that measure performance, debugging, vs. ??? I don't want to change the file or have duplicate files in different directories.

Look at the logback examples directory. logback-0.9\logback-examples\src\main\java\chapter2\

There are 3 different configuration files. I don't want any code dependencies on Logback so the only way to configure logback is to use a file called logback.xml or logback-test.xml.

To execute chapter 2 I would have to copy those files to logback.xml or logback-test.xml. Or put them in different directories and rename them all to the same file name.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

At the moment, logback can load two different files: logback.xml and logback-test.xml. They need to be in the classpath and can be useful to separate the environments, e.g. development and production.

This behavior is usually enough for many situations.

Can you precise your request with a use case that would need a java variable and would not be possible with the actual behavior?

Thanks,

Sébastien
