Disabling the output of Jboss startup

[nnguyen1981]

Is there a way to disable the output to the console (screen)? I still want the log to work, but is there some config or parm to pass to disable all of the output? TIA

Edit the server/xxx/conf/log4j.xml (or jboss-log4j.xml file, depending on your version), commenting out the CONSOLE appender.

forgive me, but I'm very new to Jboss. When I go into log4j.xml and attempt to comment out like I have below, I get an error at startup that says "--" not allowed in comment session. Would you happen to know what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for the guidance.

<!--
<appender name="CONSOLE"
class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>

 <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>
-->

It's not a JBoss question, but rather an XML question.

You cannot have nested comments in XML, such as the one within your 'layout' element.
