JBoss logging configuration

[agohar]

Hi,

I've deployed an application to jboss, which uses some third party libraries and these libraries use java.util.logging for logs. I want to enable TRACE level logging for those specific APIs. I tried to set the log level to TRACE in log4j.xml file in conf directory of JBoss but it doesn't set the log level to TRACE for those particular libraries, the logging information for those libraries is still DEBUG level.

Can anyone please let me know how can I set TRACE level logging for java.util.logging package in JBoss?

Thanks

Since you mentioned log4j.xml, I am going ot assume that you are using a really old version of JBoss AS, such as 4.0.x or 3.2.x. In the 4.0.5 log4j.xml file there is a commented-out category that shows how to set trace level logging:

<category name="jbossws.SOAPMessage">
 <priority value="TRACE" class="org.jboss.logging.XLevel"/>
 </category>

Actually since AS 4.2.x TRACE is supported natively by log4j so you can just say

<category name="bla>
 <priority value="TRACE"/>
</category>

Now, AS 5.1.x includes a logging bridge between java.util.logging and log4j, meaning that the levels you set in the log4j config are propagated to the java.util.logging side.

To set levels that appears only in java.util.logging you can use org.jboss.logging.log4j.JDKLevel, e.g.

 <!-- Set the logging level of the JSF implementation that uses
 | java.util.logging. The jdk logging levels can be controlled
 | through the org.jboss.logging.log4j.JDKLevel class that
 | in addition to the standard log4j levels it adds support for
 | SEVERE, WARNING, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST
 -->
 <category name="javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf">
 <priority value="FINE" class="org.jboss.logging.log4j.JDKLevel"/>
 </category>

Before AS 5.1 this is not supported.
