I had no logging from seam at the debug level.

It appeared when I logged at info level.

To do things properly:
You probably already know this but you have to fiddle with the JBoss config to get logging at Debug level... either change the default logger to debug or add a log4j logger that logs your packages at the debug level).

This is probably not your bug; but may help another noobie.

C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\conf\log4j.xml

Hack the below to make it DEBUG apposed to INFO or add your own appender into the file...

 <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>

All of my log messages are at SEVERE level and none are showing up. When the EAR deploys, I don't even see that notice showing up on the console. It's like when there is a virt. host, ALL log info about that goes away.

This is an absolute nightmare because I know my app is throwing an exception somewhere but I can't even figure out which class is throwing it.

The most primitive form of debugging was probably some form of logging. Today, JBoss ships with:

1. The built-in Java exception mechanism

2. The built-in java.util.logging

3. log4j

4. Commons Logging perhaps?

5. Seam Logger

6. System.out

and perhaps other components.... AND YET IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A LOG MESSAGE FROM AN APP WHEN THERE IS A VIRTUAL HOST!
