Spring @PreDestroy: No logging because Logback stops too soon

Question

In my project, I am using Logback as logging facility. I have the following class

@Component
class Test {
    @PreDestroy
    public void destroy() {
        try

There is a documented way to disable to disable the registering of the LogbackServletContextListener:

You may disable the automatic the installation of LogbackServletContextListener by setting a named logbackDisableServletContainerInitializer in your web-application's web.xml file. Here is the relevant snippet.

    
        logbackDisableServletContainerInitializer
        true
    
    .... 

Note that logbackDisableServletContainerInitializer variable can also be set as a Java system property an OS environment variable. The most local setting has priority, i.e. web-app first, system property second and OS environment last.

I would imagine you'll probably want to write your own shutdown hook if this is the case and stop the LoggerContext
