Scot Hale commented on LOG4J2-1429:
------------------------------------
Xinclude doesn't allow class path resources, and has only relative file path
requirements. Also it only works for XML I think.
The composite configuration I have been trying to use, but I don't really want
client applications to have to change their startup system properties (It
requires a fair amount of operational work for me). I haven't tested the
reloading behavior with composite configuration, but if additional
configuration files ( including classpath resources ) could be provided after
the logger was initialized, then that would work for my use case. From the
documentation it does not seem like that is possible though.

> Configuration File Include
> logback has a configuration feature that allows a fragment of a file to be
> included. The file source can be a file, classpath resource, or a URL. The
> feature is documented here:
> http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#fileInclusion . This
> requested feature need not be implemented the same. Instead of fragments, it
> would probably be okay to supply a full configuration and merge it. Either
> implementation would work for my specific use case.
> Each of the included files should be checked for changes on the
> monitorInterval to allow a reload of the configuration.
> Also includes can be considered "optional", which allows the resource to be
> missing.
> The main use case I have as a requestor, is to create a configuration and
> package it in a jar. The jar is provided to multiple applications which can
> adjust the logging levels at runtime for diagnostic purposes with well known
> included files.
