Neo4j + logback + janino + play framework 2.0 fails on start up

[Magnus Andersson]

When I start my app in production mode in (tested in ubuntu and osx) the logging fails to start up. All logging is by default in play framework.

When starting my app in production mode I get:

...

I guess this has to do with the support of logback in 1.7m3? :)

How to fix it?

Is there any info how to setup logback for neo4j?

Cheers,

Magnus

Hi Magnus,

could you try using 1.7 instead? http://neo4j.org/download/

Hi,

Thanks for answering.

I am using 1.7. 

Neo4j's lib files named "...-1.7.jar" are imported to my project's lib catalogue.

This is a warning more than anything else, and the only thing that will
happen is that remote logging will not be possible. Adding janino to
classpath should be enough to "fix" this warning, but as above, only
thing it does is enable you to do remote logging so if you are not
interested in that it's fine.

My current thought is to remove our Logback XML file entirely, and do
the config in code instead, as it is fixed anyway. Then janino will not
be needed.
