Play fails to load custom log back appender

Question

I have created a custom logback appender. But play gives a ClassNotFound exception for the appender.

Following is my appender

package log

import ch.qos.         


        

Answer 1

It seems that play's dynamically compiled classes in dev mode are not available for logback. I'm struggling with the same issue. Putting my custom appender to a separate jar file works for me. I assume in prod with staged final jar files this should not be a problem.
