---------------------------------------

             Summary: LogbackValve fails to find config with absolute path 
outside of tomcat home
                 Key: LOGBACK-1467
                 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1467
             Project: logback
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: logback-access
    Affects Versions: 1.2.3
         Environment: linux, tomcat 9, java 11
            Reporter: Tamás Györgyey
            Assignee: Logback dev list
            Priority: Trivial


When a filename property is specified, LogbackValve searches for the config by 
prepending catalina.base and catalina.home to the path, then looks for it as a 
resource. Neither of those manages to find a file referenced with an absolute 
path (e.g. /tmp/logback-access.xml).

A simple workaround is to create a symlink from the default location to the 
external file, but this shouldn't be necessary. Specifying a file location 
outside tomcat home is convenient in certain situations and should be supported.
