[jboss-as7-dev] Logging ids for EJB subsystem (already almost) exhausted!

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

I thought logging was to be done as described on http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToLogInJBossProjects

as part of https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TAG-48

or is https://community.jboss.org/wiki/LoggingIds simply just the number ranges within
the JBAS subsystem ?

Maybe EJB needs its own subsystem id ?

…or is the i18n number system just completely separate from this ?
