log4j and jboss

[ajay_falcon]

Hi.
it seems that u cannot separate jboss's logging from any webapp's logging and ejb's logging running in Jboss. Classes using log4j in jboss inherits jboss's log4j.xml config. My categories get listed but i am not able to change their priority level. Does anyone know how to change the individual category priority levels? can you post a samle config file!

i'm using jboss 3.2.3.

With this I can set DEBUG level on System.out only for my classes:

<appender name="ARIA" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
 <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
 </layout>
 </appender>

and:

 <category name="it.aria" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="ARIADNE"/>
 </category>

hi formenti,

I tried your sample config.
This is what i have done. I have a separate log4j config file in which i have defined my appenders and categories. I load these through a servlet at application startup. In the servlet i list all the available categories. The categories that i have defined are listed. The problem is in changing their priorities. The only priority that seems to work is ERROR. That is if i put the line in code log.error("Some message"); then this message is shown on the console. But none of the other priority messages are shown.
Can you help me out.

Ajay.

usually I configure log4j only via /conf/log4.xml... i put org.jboss category to INFO and, with the code that i posted, my classes to DEBUG level.
I haven't idea how to do with separate log4j file, Im'm sorry. But if you find a solution, please post it to me that i'm interesting about log4j tuning!

Thanx
