As the title says, I want to run a class that will check if a property exists in a directory before the initiation of logback. So what I've tried is I put a listener that will fire at startup before the listener of spring and I've made sure that no Logger is used in this listener. But the Logger still manage to fire before my listeners. Here's my web.xml:
