including spring properties in logback pattern

I would like to include some spring properties in my logback.xml pattern, but until I know it is not possible due to application.properties is loaded after logback.xml

There is a way to include a property from application.properties or from project pom.xml?

This is my logback code:

%d{"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSSZ"} [%p] %c ${project.artifactId} - %msg%n

Solution

  • There is a dedicated property called springProperty which you can use in your Logback configuration file.

    <configuration>
    <springProperty name="artifactId" source="project.artifactId"/>
    ...
    <fileNamePattern> ... ${artifactId} ... </fileNamePattern>
    ...
</configuration>

    The source attribute should match the key in your application.properties. The name attribute is used to refer the value inside the configuration.
