Deployed log4j.properties does not affect non log4j logging systems ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5255 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5255 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Logging Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP) Reporter: Patrick Ruckstuhl Assignee: James Perkins Priority: Blocker Fix For: 7.2.0.Alpha1 If I create the file my.ear/META-INF/log4j.properties with log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, FA log4j.appender.FA=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.FA.File=/tmp/my.log log4j.appender.FA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.FA.layout.ConversionPattern= %-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n this results in nothing in the server.log and an empty /tmp/my.log but if I create a my.ear/META-INF/logging.properties this results in everything beeing logged to /tmp/my.log We're using SLF4J in our application and also using a library that uses COMMONS-LOGGING I also did a test with doing an additional log statement using the log4j api directly and this one (and only this one) did get logged to /tmp/my.log
