logback access with Jetty maven plugin

Question

I am trying to use logback access with jetty following this However I am getting this exception when starting the server:

Config error at | logback.xml | java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.qos.logback.access.jetty.RequestLogImpl

Here is the code from jetty.xml causing the problem :

<Ref id="RequestLogHandler">
 <Set name="requestLog">
    <New id="requestLogImpl" class="ch.qos.logback.access.jetty.RequestLogImpl">
       <Set name="resource">as/classpath/resource/myaccess.xml</Set>
    </New>   
  </Set>
</Ref>

and here is the pom.xml

I'm no expert in maven, but you have two dependencies entries, is that valid xml? What happens if you pull that logback-classic entry up to the first node? Also if I remember correctly, don't you need SLF4J to use logback? — Goibniu, Oct 14 '13 at 11:52
i tried putting all the dependencies in the same place and tried using it with slf4j as well, still getting the same error — mosaad, Oct 14 '13 at 11:55
Ok, post your updated POM (With all the dependencies together), and with a dependency of SLF4J included. Then do a mvn:clean or whatever, and refresh. If you are still having issues, use the -X option in maven to get a more detailed explanation (it might point to other missing dependencies) — Goibniu, Oct 14 '13 at 11:58

You normaly have to do that :"After downloading the logback distribution, place the files logback-core-VERSION.jar and logback-access-VERSION.jar under $JETTY_HOME/lib directory, where $JETTY_HOME is the folder where you have installed Jetty. Versions of logback-access 0.9.31 and later target Jetty versions 7.x and 8.x. Logback-access versions 0.9.30 and earlier target Jetty version 6.x." but you're using the jetty maven plugin so:

Did you add the dependency in the jetty plugin?:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
        <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>8.0.4.v20111024</version><!-- or whatever version you specified -->
        <configuration>
          ...
        </configuration>
        ...
          <dependency>
        <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
        <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.13</version>
          </dependency>
        ...
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
