Filter on logger does not filter

[sewatech]

Hi all,

I'm just trying to configure logging in JBoss AS 6. I've not found much documentation on it, so I'm using the jboss-logging-6_0.xsd.

I wanted to use filtering. It works fine on handler. With the following configuration, nothing is logged in Console (it is just an example !) :

   <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true" target="System.out"

      <error-manager>

         <only-once/>

      </error-manager>

      <level name="INFO"/>

      <filter>

         <deny/>

      </filter>

      <formatter>

         <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] %s%E%n"/>

      </formatter>

   </console-handler>

When I'm using the same filter on a logger element, the messages from that logger are logged.

   <logger category="org.jboss.bootstrap">

      <filter>

         <deny/>

      </filter>

   </logger>

Can I really filter on logger element ? What is wrong in my config ?

PS : I joined the whole config file.

I just find out why my filter does not work...

In fact, if I put a filter on another logger, it works. I think that because org.jboss.bootstrap.impl.base.server.AbstractServer is initialized before the LoggingService, its filter is not reinitialzed. Handlers and level are reinitialized but not filter.

Not sure wether it is a bug or not. Should I post a JIRA on it ?
