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

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12708177#comment-12708177 ] 

Patrick Ruckstuhl commented on AS7-5255:
----------------------------------------

The thing is, that even with the logging.properties there is an issue.
Configuring the root logger works fine, but it does not work to configure categories

https://community.jboss.org/thread/203159

Interesting is also that I tried even to debug into the loading of the configuration (breakpoint in PropertyConfigurator) and this sometimes resulted in the thing actually working, I'm wondering if there could be some timing issue with this file (or the general deployment specifc log configurations) beeing loaded.

Should I open a new defect for that?
