Q: Format of jboss-logging.xml in AS6

[ktnagel]

Hello Collegues,

the format of the configuration file obviously has changed between JBoss 4 and 6, but I can't find a link to the new format.

We used to do some application specific logging in separate files using several appenders like the following:

   <appender name="LOG_FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">

     <param name="File" value="/var/log/jboss/baslog/BASIS-WEB.log"/>

     <param name="Append" value="true"/>

     <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>

     <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->

     <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

       <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->

       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>

     </layout>

   </appender>

Where can I find come information to migrate this to the new format?

Logging in AS 6 is configured via server/xxx/deploy/jboss-logging.xml.

As far as application-specific logging goes, you can now include the log4j.properties or log4j.xml file in your application.

When I searched for logging on AS 6 I got these posts among others:

Hi Peter,

thanks for your hint, i put some "periodic-rotating-file-handler" like the ones quoted, so I got most of it working now,

but still the questions remais: where is the file format documented?
