Hi Dimitris, Not quite sure how you would do it I'm afraid - the obvious way would be to allow the application to bundle it's own log4j.xml file which overrides the AS one, but that doesn't seem to work in the current code base. Want me to file a feature request? But I do believe Seam is using log levels consistently with JBoss AS.

Could you comment on which reduction you would like to see? I would prefer to not loose most of those messages for the majority of users in JBoss, as they are very help for debugging, and most people will adjust their logging in production anyway (definitely we should have WARN on a production profile). 1) Version number logged at INFO - see * INFO [ServerImpl] Release ID: JBoss [Morpheus] 5.0.1.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_5_0_1_GA date=200902232048) * INFO [NativeServerConfig] JBoss Web Services - Stack Native Core * INFO [NativeServerConfig] 3.0.5.GA * INFO [StandardEngine] Starting Servlet Engine: JBoss Web/2.1.2.GA * INFO [QuartzScheduler] Quartz Scheduler v.1.5.2 created. etc.

2) Logging discovery of components INFO [JBossASKernel] installing bean: jboss.j2ee:ear=webbeans-translator.ear,jar=webbeans-translator.jar,name=SentenceTranslator,service=EJB3 INFO [JBossASKernel] with dependencies: INFO [JBossASKernel] and demands: INFO [JBossASKernel] jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService INFO [JBossASKernel] and supplies: INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/SentenceTranslator/local-org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.Translator INFO [JBossASKernel] Class:org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.Translator INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/SentenceTranslator/local INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/SentenceTranslator/remote INFO [JBossASKernel] Added bean(jboss.j2ee:ear=webbeans-translator.ear,jar=webbeans-translator.jar,name=SentenceTranslator,service=EJB3) to KernelDeployment of: webbeans-translator.jar INFO [JBossASKernel] installing bean: jboss.j2ee:ear=webbeans-translator.ear,jar=webbeans-translator.jar,name=TranslatorControllerBean,service=EJB3 INFO [JBossASKernel] with dependencies: INFO [JBossASKernel] and demands: INFO [JBossASKernel] jboss.ejb:service=EJBTimerService INFO [JBossASKernel] and supplies: INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/TranslatorControllerBean/local-org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.TranslatorController INFO [JBossASKernel] Class:org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.TranslatorController INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/TranslatorControllerBean/remote INFO [JBossASKernel] jndi:webbeans-translator/TranslatorControllerBean/local INFO [JBossASKernel] Added bean(jboss.j2ee:ear=webbeans-translator.ear,jar=webbeans-translator.jar,name=TranslatorControllerBean,service=EJB3) to KernelDeployment of: webbeans-translator.jar etc.

3) warning people about deprecation (standard practice, easy to fix :-) 4) Logging start of components INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.SentenceTranslator ejbName: SentenceTranslator INFO [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI: webbeans-translator/SentenceTranslator/local - EJB3.x Default Local Business Interface webbeans-translator/SentenceTranslator/local-org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.Translator - EJB3.x Local Business Interface INFO [SessionSpecContainer] Starting jboss.j2ee:ear=webbeans-translator.ear,jar=webbeans-translator.jar,name=TranslatorControllerBean,service=EJB3 INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.TranslatorControllerBean ejbName: TranslatorControllerBean INFO [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI: webbeans-translator/TranslatorControllerBean/local - EJB3.x Default Local Business Interface webbeans-translator/TranslatorControllerBean/local-org.jboss.webbeans.examples.translator.TranslatorController - EJB3.x Local Business Interface

5) where configuration is read from e.g. INFO [ServerImpl] Starting Microcontainer, bootstrapURL=file:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/conf/bootstrap.xml INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view vfszip:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/jboss-local-jdbc.rar/META-INF/ra.xml INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view vfszip:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/jboss-xa-jdbc.rar/META-INF/ra.xml INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view vfszip:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/jms-ra.rar/META-INF/ra.xml INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view vfszip:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/mail-ra.rar/META-INF/ra.xml INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view vfszip:/Applications/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/default/deploy/quartz-ra.rar/META-INF/ra.xml
