[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5255) Deployed log4j.properties does not affect non log4j logging systems

[James Perkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12708169#comment-12708169 ] 

James Perkins commented on AS7-5255:
------------------------------------

Without using log4j as your logging facade I don't see how this would work. slf4j is going to pass messages through JBoss Log Manager. Your best to use the {{logging.properties}} approach as JBoss Log Manager would be configured for your application and slf4j will pass through that configured log manager context.

> log4j.appender.FA.layout.ConversionPattern= %-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
> this results in nothing in the server.log and an empty /tmp/my.log

> this results in everything beeing logged to /tmp/my.log
> We're using SLF4J in our application and also using a library that uses COMMONS-LOGGING
> I also did a test with doing an additional log statement using the log4j api directly and this one (and only this one) did get logged to /tmp/my.log
