I do care a lot about logback being configure with properties to be able to leverage ConfigAdmin. It should be *the* way to configure things in OSGi. That way, you can distribute the configuration remotely or store it in a DB or in any other mean without having to rewrite all the bundles to leverage that. That's the benefit of using a standard service. You just said the configuration file needs to be xml or groovy, which is different from a properties file. For config admin, the input data needs to be a map of key/value pairs. I haven't said it was not possible with logback, just that it does not exist, and I don't have the time and will to start writing a new configuration mechanism for logback without having any real need to switch to it. But if you want to try that, it could be nice. Though I still haven't heard the reasons why you want logback instead of pax-logging. > > Best regards, > -- > Ceki > -- ------------------------ Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com
