Logging in War

[sonam]

I am trying to log in a war application within OSGI framework. I have been able to log in the web-app by manually configuring using JoranConfigurator using a separate logging.xml. However, I want to use the existing the logback framework built within the dm-server with the serviceability.xml. When I try the built-in approach and attempt to instantiate a slf4j logger using the following code

org.slf4j.Logger slf4j = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass().getName());

I get an error/exception upon deployment saying class not found. How can I leverage the existing the framework with it's logging config file and still be able to log using the slf4j? I have read The user-guide/programmer's on DM-SERVER and it has not helped.

thanks

You will need to add Import-Package headers to you MANIFEST.MF

Import-Package: org.slf4j

Make sure that logback, and slf4j are not included in WEB-INF/lib. Those libraries will be provisioned from dm-server for you.

Do you deploy just a plain war or do you prepare your manifest.mf in any way for OSGi?
