I was looking for a Netty http access logging solution and found logback-access via Googling.

Since you only have support for Tomcat and Jetty and other servlet container, I wonder if a Netty solution would be useful.

Since Netty is NOT a container in the J2EE sense, it only allows programmatic extension by inserting channel handler(s) into its pipeline. I have coded an experimental toy project based on this design but without using Logback yet.

Questions to the community:

• are you using Netty?
• would you envision people using Netty and wanting logback-access?
• would you like to see Netty support as part of logback-access?
