[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=12737576#comment-12737576 ] 

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

The issue is the child loggers in JBoss Log Manager use a WeakReference. The references are being GC'd. Changing the log4j-jboss-logmanager fork to hold a reference to the loggers fixes the issue. https://github.com/jamezp/log4j-jboss-logmanager/commit/90705be805aa3ae4df0a9f761d4ee3eb5694dd82

> If I create the file
> my.ear/META-INF/log4j.properties
> with
> log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, FA
> log4j.appender.FA=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
> log4j.appender.FA.File=/tmp/my.log
> log4j.appender.FA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
> 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
> but if I create a
> my.ear/META-INF/logging.properties
> 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
