[slf4j-user] Trouble setting up logback/slf4j in tomcat.

[Jacob Kjome]

Hi Sebastien,

Why do you say that logback needs to be in 
${catalina.home}/bin and added to the classpath 
in order to get used for logging by 
Tomcat?  That's not the case for Log4j 
integration.  Simply put log4j.jar and 
commons-logging.jar in common/lib and a config 
file in common/classes and you've now got Tomcat 
logging going through Log4j.  Why would this be different for Logback?
