[logback-user] tomcat configuration - jndi selector initialization printed three times

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hello Markus,

Logback-access requires the Tomcat valve. Are you confusing 
logback-access and the JNDIContextSelector? The latter is a 
logback-classic feature and independent of logback-access.

Is there a copy of slf4-api.jar or logback-classic.jar in your web-app?
