[logback-user] logback-access in an embedded jetty server

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hi Jan-Olav,

Thank you for your message.

In principle, logback-access and logback-classic are initialized 
independently.  However, both are based on logback-core and require it 
to be available and the class path. Thus, if you wish to use 
logback-access and logback-classic than you need to make sure that 
logback-core.jar is accessible to  your web-app as well as jetty. 
Without knowing how jetty sets up its classpath, it is hard to be more 
specific.

However, I am 100% certain that your hypothesis about one configuration 
winning over the other is incorrect.  As mentioned above, logback-access 
and logback-classic are initialized independently. In no way do they 
reference each-other's configuration files.

I hope this helps.
