[jboss-as7-dev] logger config per deployment / app

Hmmm, does this only disable handling via management console,
or does it completely disable whatever you setup via CustomHandlerService and/or LoggerHandlerService?

We add our own handler to ROOT

        final CustomHandlerService chs = new CustomHandlerService(Logger.class.getName(), "org.jboss.as.capedwarf");
        chs.setFormatterSpec(new FormatterSpec() {
            public void apply(Handler handler) {
            }
        });
        final String capedwarfLogger = Constants.CAPEDWARF.toUpperCase();
        final ServiceName chsName = LogServices.handlerName(capedwarfLogger);
        final ServiceBuilder<Handler> chsBuilder = serviceTarget.addService(chsName, chs);
        newControllers.add(chsBuilder.setInitialMode(ServiceController.Mode.ON_DEMAND).install());

        final String rootLogger = "ROOT";
        final LoggerHandlerService lhs = new LoggerHandlerService(rootLogger);
        final ServiceBuilder<org.jboss.logmanager.Logger> lhsBuilder = serviceTarget.addService(LogServices.loggerHandlerName(rootLogger, capedwarfLogger), lhs);
        lhsBuilder.addDependency(LogServices.loggerName(rootLogger));
        lhsBuilder.addDependency(chsName, Handler.class, lhs.getHandlerInjector());
        newControllers.add(lhsBuilder.setInitialMode(ServiceController.Mode.ON_DEMAND).install());

[X] But we also setup -- similar to existing LoggingConfigurationProcessor -- our own LogContext,
if the app explicitly enables it -- via some config property and log.props file.

The problem is, if we have [X] use case, our handler from the code above never gets used / hit.
Any idea why?
