Make server.log logging level configurable via system property
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-6205
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6205
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Logging
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA


Add <param name="Threshold" value="${jboss.server.log.level}"/> to the FILE appender config in jboss-log4j.xml.

Log4j performs a system property substitution (see org.apache.log4j.xml.DomConfigurator.subst()). It doesn't seem to support our default value syntax, e.g. {jboss.server.log.level:DEBUG}, but starting the AS w/o setting the system property results in DEBUG logging.

If we want a default other than DEBUG (or don't like counting on log4j to use DEBUG if the property isn't set), we can check the system property in Log4jService and set it if not set.
