I want to deploy multiple applications in Tomcat. Each one will include
Logback jars. I need to have the log configuration file external to the

have an init servlet in each application which loads from the
filesystem? I can pass a system property on Tomcat startup which points
to a "config" directory.
Hello Nathaniel,
You could include an external configuration file on a path dependent on
the application. Example:
-- contents of logback.xml shipping within myApp1, one of your web-apps
<configuration scan="true">
<include file="/a/path/myApp1/logback.xml"/>
</configuration>
Auto scan feature is documented at
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#autoScan
-- contents of /a/path/myApp1/logback.xml
<included>
... other content
</included>
File inclusion is documented at
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#fileInclusion
Note that logback will scan for changes in included files as well.
