Jørgen Ringen created LOGBACK-1309:
--------------------------------------
Summary: No autoscaning for changed logback.xml when using
http-URI for config file
Key: LOGBACK-1309
URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1309
Project: logback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: logback-core
Affects Versions: 1.1.11
Environment: MacOS, Spring Boot 1.5.3.RELEASE, Java 8
Reporter: Jørgen Ringen
Assignee: Logback dev list
Here is my logback.xml:
{code:java}
<configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="10 seconds">
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<pattern>
%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<logger name="com.acme" level="DEBUG" additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
</logger>
<root level="INFO">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
</root>
</configuration>{code}
Notice that scan=true and scanPeriod=10 seconds.
I host my logback.xml file on a remote server and I use Spring Boot to
instantiate logback. Spring boot takes the property
-Dlogging.config=[http://acme.com:1337/logback.xml] and passes this to:
ch.qos.logback.core.joran.GenericConfigurator#doConfigure(java.net.URL)
Logback looks up the config-file from the remote url, instantiates the config,
and everything seems fine, except for autoscanning.
I see that logback uses the class
ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.ConfigurationWatchList to keep track of files
with autoscanning and a class called
ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.ReconfigureOnChangeTask to do the periodic polling.
When a URI is added to the watch-list, the following code is executed:
{code:java}
ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.ConfigurationWatchList#addAsFileToWatch
private void addAsFileToWatch(URL url) {
File file = convertToFile(url);
if (file != null) {
fileWatchList.add(file);
lastModifiedList.add(file.lastModified());
}
}
ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.ConfigurationWatchList#convertToFile
File convertToFile(URL url) {
String protocol = url.getProtocol();
if ("file".equals(protocol)) {
return new File(URLDecoder.decode(url.getFile()));
} else {
addInfo("URL [" + url + "] is not of type file");
return null;
}
}
{code}
Notice that theres a check to ensure that the URL-protocol is "file". This
check fails for URL's with http-protocol, so no autoscanning is performed on
the configuration-file.
Is this expected behaviour? If so, why, and is it possible to create a
feature-request for autoscanning on http-uri's?
