[logback-user] Current version of logback can't read my JNDI entry

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hello Hendrik,

The new JNDI naming restriction is intended to prevent malicious JNDI
attacks in configuration files.

Do you know which Jakarta/EE/JavaEE specification WebSphere Liberty 21
implements? I would suggest reading section "Application Component
Environment Namespace" in the relevant document.

You might try to use one of the following namespaces:

 java:comp, java:module, java:app, java:global

with and without the env/ suffix.
