[logback-user] Custom filter - ClassNotFoundException

[Florian Neumeyer]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a simple configuration with different log files
used depending on the logger name. 
Not wanting to use Joran, because this is a quite frequently accessed
log, I tried to set up a custom logback filter for my Maven2/jetty7/JDK
1.6/logback-0.9.21 project.

I added

<filter class="de.mycorp.LoggerNameFilter" />

to my logback.xml, whereas de.mycorp is the package where all my other
classes reside.

LoggerNameFilter.java:

[..]

public class LoggerNameFilter extends Filter<ILoggingEvent> {

    @Override
    public FilterReply decide(ILoggingEvent event) {
        if (event.getLoggerName().equals("chat-message")) {
            return FilterReply.ACCEPT;
        } else {
            return FilterReply.DENY;
        }
    }
    
}

Unfortunately Maven throws an error:

-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA -
Could not create component [filter] of type [de.mycorp.LoggerNameFilter]

Maybe there's even a better approach to this?


Thanks a lot!
