    I can't log my application with DEBUG level

    vjger

      Hi forum.

      I've a deployed war into my JBoss 4.2.2 GA.
      I want to use the external jboss-log4j.xml for my appenders and category.

      So, this is my new configuration file.

      
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

      Into my application sicrel.war there is the following ProjectLogger class.

      public final class ProjectLogger {
      
       private final static Logger LOGGER;
      
       static {
       LOGGER = Logger.getLogger("");
      
       }
      
       public static Logger getLogger() {
       return LOGGER;
       }
      }
      
      
      


      while into a generic servlet there are these pieces of code

      
      /* (1) */
       if (ProjectLogger.getLogger().isDebugEnabled()){
       ProjectLogger.getLogger().debug("Start");
       }
      /* (2) */
       if (ProjectLogger.getLogger().isDebugEnabled()){
       ProjectLogger.getLogger().info("request.getRequestURI() "+request.getRequestURI());
      }
      
      


      Well, with
      <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
      

      into the sicrelAppender,

      the sicrel.log contains the jboss startup logs too,
      and the (2) log code of my application (even if under the isDebugEnabled() !)

      with
      <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
      

      into the sicrelAppender,

      the two files, server.log and sicrel.log are identical.
      Besides, only the (2) log code is written too.

      So, the questions are:

      1) why the sicrel.war and JBoss logs are merged into sicrel.log even if the sicrelAppender has a configured filter?
      2) why the .info() log is written even if under isDebugEnabled()?
      3) why the .debug() log is never written?


      Thanks in advance
