[jboss-dev] server.log appender in AS should use the full conversion pattern by default

[Galder Zamarreno]

Hi,

 From a support point of view, I often find myself asking 
users/customers to enable the full conversion pattern in the 
server.log's log4j appender  in order to get a better idea of what each 
thread is doing:

<!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
-->

It would really benefit us to have this conversion pattern enabled by 
default to speed up problem resolution. The server.log is already 
verbose enough and few of our users/customers understand it, so I 
wouldn't expect such change to have a major impact on our users/customers.

If possible, I'd like to get this done for JBoss 5 GA. Thoughts?

Cheers,
