[logback-user] question reg. reading JNDI env entries

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hello Ravi,

This is quite strange because for some name 'n', the JNDI lookup code in 
logback essentially does InitialContext().lookup(n) the same code that 
seems to work for you. Could the discrepency be attributed to 
differences in the class loader for logback and the servlet code which 
is able to correctly read the JNDI entries? Where are the logback 
classes located on your application's class path?
