Jeff Zhang commented on JBAS-8791:
----------------------------------

To make log4j-appender work, Gregoire help to find the patch path:

1. download and unzip AS6.
2. upgrade log4j.jar to 1.2.16
3. apply patch JBAS-8791-1.zip. (3 jars into 3 different directories, replace old same name jars)
4. change the jboss-logging.xml, add Log4jAppender appender 

Here is our chat:
Hi Gregoire,

Cool, you are right, upgrade log4j to 1.2.16 can resolve log issue. :)

Regards
Jeff

My test was made with the following configuration (I declare the logger in the appender itself, don't know if this could change something), and didn't add the Log4jAppender in the root-logger.

Every second the bean should write something, but nothing happens, the log file is not even created. I tried with other log4j loggers/ custom loggers and no success.
