Logback autoconfiguration documentation is misleading
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: LBSITE-20
URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBSITE-20
Project: logback-site
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 0.9.9, 0.9.10
Reporter: Szel Zoltan
Assignee: Logback dev list
Priority: Minor
Hello all,
we have hit this problem a couple of times so i think it worth rising it. The
Logback documentation about autoconfiguration says:
Logback tries to find a file called logback-test.xml in the classpath.
If no such file is found, it checks for the file logback.xml.
In case neither file is found, logback configures itself automatically using
the BasicConfigurator which will cause logging output to be directed on the
console.
This is very misleading, one might think he/she can put the logback.xml file
anywhere in the classpath but Logback will find it only if it is in the top of
the classpath(e.g.: right under the packages folder). Could you please fix the
docs?
Best regards,
Zoltan Szel
