jboss as 6 log4j transaction related logging doesn't work

[typek_pb]

hi all,

we need is to have a possibility to have logging of transaction (begin/commit/rollback) in our application log files.

this is our scenario:

- ear application

- log4j is used as a logging framework, layout used and working ok (for our application logs) is:

deploy\xyz.ear\log4j.xml

deploy\xyz.ear\lib\log4j-1.2.14.jar

- jboss as version is: jboss-6.0.0.Final

- we use CMT

- I'm able to see all the transaction related loggs only in:

log\server.log

using configuration in:

deploy\jboss-logging.xml

like this:

  <!-- Limit Arjuna transaction manager -->

   <logger category="com.arjuna.ats">

     <level name="TRACE" />

   </logger>

But I can't get it into our log files. Even if I use in our:

deploy\xyz.ear\log4j.xml

following config:

  <category name="com.arjuna.ats">

    <priority value="TRACE"/>

    <appender-ref ref="XYZ"/>

  </category>

My assumption is that TRACE in log4j is not the TRACE used internally by JBoss logging.

I've checked the code of JBoss and found in:

com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction code like this:

public void begin() throws javax.transaction.NotSupportedException,

            javax.transaction.SystemException

    {

        if (jtaLogger.logger.isTraceEnabled()) {

            jtaLogger.logger.trace("BaseTransaction.begin");

        }

But internally it checks for org.jboss.logging.Level.TRACE

and it has nothing to do with log4j levels.

Any idea how to proceed? Thanks.
