We have 100s of project that get mixed in various way into applications packaged in war's and ear's. There are a number of logging technologies uses through these projects including logback, log4j, slf4j and JCL. (It's a goodness I have not found JUL yet:) </div><div><br></div><div>On of the issues I am working on is to reduce the noise from third party libraries. I tracked down some of this to JCL being used and eventually logback getting control of the output. As a quick fix while I sort a proper strategy I decided to add a logback.xml configuration to one of the applications. Sure enough all of the debug noise from the third party libraries subsided. As I next step I tried to turn the debug back on and oddly I cannot. If I rename logback.xml the debug message start again. This seems so straightforward I cannot imagine what I am doing wrong. The two version of the configuration file follow.</div><div><br></div><div><br>
