thanks! the hibernate part works, but the Struts one did not. i suspect its because there is this in jboss-log4j.xml anonymous wrote : <!-- Limit the org.apache category to INFO as its DEBUG is verbose --> | | | my guess is since org.apache.struts2 is a subset of org.apache, the configuration you gave me did not work. can we make a category within a category?
