JBoss 5.0.1: log4j.properties file not taking effect in EAR

[bradleyscollins]

Hello, all.

I cannot get the settings in my log4j.properties file to take effect. I've already followed the advice in the following forum discussion:

http://community.jboss.org/message/198690#198690

Here is my log4j.properties file (in the root directory of the EAR):

#

# The root logger is set to INFO by default.

# This level can be changed programmatically at runtime.

#

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, file

# use the hibernate appender for audit logs.

log4j.logger.auditLogger.com.anfscd=INFO, hibernate, HBSS

# Console appender.

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d %c %x - %m %n

log4j.appender.stdout.Threshold=WARN

# Use this ConversionPattern to display thread.

#log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

# Daily rolling file appender.

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.file.File=c:/anfscd/log/anfscd-server.log

log4j.appender.file.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd

log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d %c %x - %m %n

# Use this ConversionPattern to display thread.

#log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

# Hibernate appender

log4j.appender.hibernate=com.anfscd.common.util.database.log.HibernateAppender

log4j.appender.hibernate.sessionServiceClass=com.anfscd.cmd.model.util.persistence.HibernateHelper

log4j.appender.hibernate.loggingEventClass=com.anfscd.cmd.model.audit.AuditLogRecord

# direct log messages to windows system logs #

log4j.appender.HBSS=org.apache.log4j.nt.NTEventLogAppender

log4j.appender.HBSS.Source=Project Name

log4j.appender.HBSS.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.HBSS.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d %c %x - %m %n

# suppress org.hibernate messages

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=ERROR, stdout

Here is my jboss-app.xml (in [ear]/META-INF):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss-app>

<module-order>strict</module-order>

<loader-repository>

com.anfscd:loader=AnfscdLoader

<loader-repository-config>

java2ParentDelegation=false

</loader-repository-config>

</loader-repository>

</jboss-app>

We're using Hibernate for persistence, and it is quite verbose in the output console. I don't want to see Hibernate console output unless there's an error.

And by the way, I'm using log4j-1.2.15.jar.
