Tomcat和logback.xml

Question

I am starting up a Seam + Hibernate + Logback project deployed to Tomcat 6 . I use Eclipse as an IDE . Hibernate prints many debug statements, so I have put the level to ERROR , so I don't see them.

<logger name="org.hibernate">
    <level value="ERROR" />
</logger>

I don't paste my whole logback.xml , because the problem I have, is not connected with its contents.

I have the following classpath problem - If I put the logback.xml in WEB-INF\\classes of my project, it is not found by the classloader and I see all debug statements. On the other hand, if I move the logback.xml to the lib directory of Tomcat , everything works perfect and the debug statements are not printed.

But I want to have my logback.xml inside my project, not in the root lib directory of Tomcat.

And here is my question - isn't the WEB-INF\\classes a correct place for logback.xml ? Why isn't it found?

I have always known that the files under the WEB-INF\\classes directory of the project, are put to the classpath. Thank you for any ideas you have.

All the best, Petar

It looks like your logback.jar is also under ${catalina.home}\\lib .

If you want to put your logback.xml to \\WEB-INF\\classes , the logback.jar should be only under \\WEB-INF\\lib . The ${catalina.home}\\lib\\logback.jar should be removed.
