You must set your logging level for the console to be DEBUG. The default for JBoss AS is setted to INFO. INFO is higher that DEBUG. So DEBUG levels won't be printed out. Go edit your $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/jboss-log4j.xml Find the CONSOLE appender and set the threshold to DEBUG. But this is not recommended since JBoss AS has a lot of debug log statements. Another way is to set log level in your application to INFO. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4099709#...
