[logback-user] Problem with logback-access and logback-classic within Tomcat

Hello,
I tried to centralize logging in our docker environment by using logback
as default logging framework. The idea is to use logback in our core
application which compiles to a *.war file which is deployed in an
Apache Tomcat v8.5.
We now use Docker and I want to get a logging setup in our swarm like that:
Our own *.war file is already successfully logging to STDOUT with
logback and the logstash-logback-encoder. After I deployed the war to
Tomcat running within a Docker container I realized that more
information coming from Tomcat is logged via STDOUT and this is not in
JSON format.
I also read about logback-access and how to use it in Tomcat so I first
added logback-access to the classpath of Tomcat and added a
logback-access.xml config file as well. In the server.xml I added <Valve
className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>. The server.xml
looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<!--<Listener
className="org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener"/>-->
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener"
SSLEngine="on"/>
<Listener
className="org.apache.catalina.core.JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener"/>
<Listener
className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener"/>
<Listener
className="org.apache.catalina.core.ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener"/>
<GlobalNamingResources>
<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>
<Service name="Catalina">
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443"/>
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"/>
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">
<Realm
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
</Realm>
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Valve
className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve" />
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
Running our war like this works.
Now I wanted to make Tomcat to use logback as default logging framework
as well and integrated
ADD logback-core-1.2.3.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD logback-classic-1.2.3.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD logstash-logback-encoder-5.3.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD jul-to-slf4j-1.7.26.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD slf4j-api-1.7.26.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD jackson-core-2.9.8.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
ADD jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar /usr/local/tomcat/lib/
to the lib folder as well as to the classpath via setenv.sh:
export
CLASSPATH="$CATALINA_HOME/lib/jul-to-slf4j-1.7.26.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/slf4j-api-1.7.26.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/logback-classic-1.2.3.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/logstash-logback-encoder-5.3.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/jackson-core-2.9.8.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/logback-access-1.2.3.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/logback-core-1.2.3.jar:$CATALINA_HOME/conf/logback/"
I also added a proper logback.xml for Tomcat.
Unfortunately in this situation the Tomcat server process is not
starting up correctly as the following error occurs:

Now if I commend out the line <Valve
className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve" /> from the
server.xml the startup is running fine and Tomcat logs via
logback-classic - but logback-access is not used.
I found a question on stackoverflow.com where people seem to have the
same problem but no solution is provided:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32134974/added-logback-to-tomcat-got-java-lang-classnotfoundexception-org-apache-catali
Does anyone has a hint for me what is going wrong?
