programmatic reload of logback configurations 

LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
context.reset();
JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator();
configurator.setContext(context);
configurator.doConfigure(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/logback.xml"));
