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

[Ravikanth Gangarapu]

Hi Ceki,
        I have logback-core, classic, janino, commons-compiler jar files located under WEB-INF/lib folder, and the logback.xml is under WEB-INF/classes. In the console, the logback logs appear ahead of the application specific servlet and filter (from web.xml) init method System out statements.

I have modified the InsertFromJNDIAction class to print its classloader and did the same for servlet and filter init methods too. All of them printed the same class loader name.

So, I added, 

ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
System.out.println("InsertFromJNDIAction "+loader.getClass().getName()+" "+loader.hashCode()+" "+loader.toString());

org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader 1024180126 WebappClassLoader
  delegate: false
  repositories:
    /WEB-INF/classes/
----------> Parent Classloader:
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader at 46c837cd

The jndi context lookup is successful in servlet and filter init methods to print the env-entry-value. Logback still threw the error for lookup.

Thanks for your help
Ravi

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?
