How to reference a nested scala object to dynamically set configs on logback.groovy?

Question

I use typesafe config library to manage my Scala project's configuration. I use the following pattern to organize and load my configurations in a type-safe manner

object AppConfig {
  private val config = ConfigFactory.load()
  lazy val host: String = config.getString("host")
  object Splunk {
    private lazy val splunkConf = config.getConfig("splunk")
    lazy val index = splunkConf.getString("index")
    lazy val token = splunkConf.getString("token")
  }
}

I need to inject some of those configs in my logback.groovy. This works perfectly when accessing direct properties of AppConfig : example AppConfig.host(), but not for nested objects: like AppConfig.Splunk.token() logback.groovy

appender("splunk", HttpEventCollectorLogbackAppender) {
    url = "http://someSplunkUrl:8088/services/collector"
    host = AppConfig.host()
    token = AppConfig.Splunk.token() 
    index = AppConfig.Splunk.index()
    batch_size_count = 1
    layout(PatternLayout) {
        pattern = "%msg"
    }
}

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: Splunk for class: AppConfig

Use typesafe config wrapper - github.com/pureconfig/pureconfig . Define config as case classes, load it and then access properties of these case classes. — Mateusz Kubuszok

I ended up referencing the nested objected as below :

def splunkConf = Class.forName("com.util.AppConfig\$Splunk\$")
                      .getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance()

I could then access the fields successfully :

token = splunkConf."token"()
index = splunkConf."index"()
