[logback-user] logback 1.0 - pickup config change & reconfigure

[Sean Kennedy]

Ceki, 
thanks, I'd already got the status listener servlet working..

I've simplified my application to 1 servet, hello world type setup, 
Logback will detect and reconfigure a change to an external logback.xml as expected,

However if <include file=...../> mechanism is used it detects the change to the included file but doesn't reconfigure !

Regards,
Sean

Hi Sean,

The on console status listener [1] should give you more information as 
to what is going on. Just add the following line just after the 
<configuration> element in your top-most config file, i.e. logon.xml.

<statusListener
     class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />

HTH,
