Superflous attributes in logging subsystem
------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2427
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2427
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Logging
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Alpha1
            Reporter: Stan Silvert
            Assignee: James Perkins


The domain model in the logging subsystem includes "name" attributes in the handlers and a "category" attribute in the loggers.  These are not needed because they are the identifier of the entity.  It could also lead to confusion because they could conceivably be changed and no longer match the entity identifier.

*"name" => "foo"* is not needed here:
{code}
"console-handler" => \{
    "foo" => \{
        "autoflush" => true,
        "encoding" => undefined,
        "formatter" => "%d\{HH:mm:ss,SSS\} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n",
        "level" => "INFO",
        "name" => "foo",
        "target" => "System.out"
    \},
{code}

*"category*" => "sun.rmi"* is not needed here:
{code}
"logger" => \{
    "sun.rmi" => \{
        "category*" => "sun.rmi",
        "handlers" => undefined,
        "level" => "WARN",
        "use-parent-handlers" => true
    \},
{code}
