I know this has been addressed before by Adrian.
I am not clear I have a log4j.xml (default available in Jboss)
The default threshold is INFO for Jboss
I want DEBUG for my category.
The XML is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

| An example of enabling the custom TRACE level priority that is used

| turns on TRACE level msgs for the org.jboss.ejb.plugins package and its

If you use replace the log4j 1.2 jar with a 1.1.3 jar you will need to
change this from XLevel to XPriority.
