[logback-user] insertFromJNDI behavior

[Ove Hiltwein]

Hi,

For our tomcat (10.0.23) web application, we use an env-entry to specify 
the context name in the logback configuration file:
     <insertFromJNDI env-entry-name="java:comp/env/loggingContextName" 
as="loggingContextName" />
     <contextName>${loggingContextName}</contextName>

This context name is also used in defining the log file name:
     <appender name="ERRORFILE" 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
         <rollingPolicy 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${logDir}/${loggingContextName}_error_%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log
             </fileNamePattern>
             <maxHistory>7</maxHistory>
         </rollingPolicy>
         <encoder>
             <pattern>%d{ISO8601} %5p [%X{session}] [%c]: %m%n</pattern>
         </encoder>
         <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
             <level>WARN</level>
         </filter>
     </appender>


And in web.xml we define that environment entry:
     <env-entry>
<env-entry-name>loggingContextName</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
         <env-entry-value>server_v4</env-entry-value>
     </env-entry>

This configuration is in accordance with 
https://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html.

Using logback-classic in version 1.2.11, the corresponding log 
information is written to the file server_v4_error_2022-11-09.log, as 
expected.

However, after upgrading to logback-classic version 1.4.4 (or 1.3.4), 
the corresponding log information is written to a file 
loggingContextName_IS_UNDEFINED_error_2022-11-09.log, and tomcat prints 
the following to the console during startup:
14:11:58,019 |-ERROR in 
ch.qos.logback.core.model.processor.DefaultProcessor at 1390cc4c - Can't 
handle model of type class 
ch.qos.logback.core.model.InsertFromJNDIModel  with tag: insertFromJNDI 
at line 5


What am I missing here?


Many thanks
Ove Hiltwein
