It’s impossible to set a custom pattern string for the handler’s formatter via CLI or native configuration API -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5991 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5991 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Logging Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP) Reporter: Radoslav Rangelov Assignee: James Perkins Fix For: 7.2.0.Alpha1 It’s impossible to set a custom pattern string for the handler’s formatter via CLI or native configuration API. The default value for the pattern is always used - not the specified one. The stored configuration in domain.xml is ok but runtime setting of the pattern doesn’t work. I need to restart JBoss to apply the changes. The configuration in domain.xml file works fine during startup: <formatter> <pattern-formatter pattern="custom pattern string"/> </formatter>
