[logback-user] Jetty conflict

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Aleksey,


I am not totally surprised by what you describe. According to the java
laguage specification (JLS) two classes loaded by distinct class
loaders are deemed incompatible even if the classes are bitwise
identical.

When the jetty class loader loads ch.qos.classic.Logger it also needs
to load org.slf4j.Logger which it can, and does. When the
ch.qos.classic.Logger is returned to your web-application as a
org.slf4j.Logger as requested by your web-application, the returned
Logger is not compatible with the expected Logger, even if they are
both of type org.slf4j.Logger. Your web-application expects it to be
loaded by the web-app's class loader but the returned instance is loaded
by the jetty class loader, hence the error you observe.

HTH,
