Hi Dimitris,
Not quite sure how you would do it I'm afraid - the obvious way would be to allow the application to bundle it's own log4j.xml file which overrides the AS one, but that doesn't seem to work in the current code base. Want me to file a feature request?
But I do believe Seam is using log levels consistently with JBoss AS.

AFAICT, Seam is very noisy. Most of the info I'm trying to avoid should be logged at DEBUG level.

Right, but I need to know *what* you want to avoid to actually do anything about it - I think this is quite subjective - one person's useful info is another noise ;-)

To summarize:

* version info is fine
* the namespace lines are probably ok for you (but I don't like them so will DEBUG them)
* component discovery and startup should go to DEBUG (both for Seam and EJB)

> We need to exclude the event firing from debug logging, even if we hardcode it. And, are these events really useful? I have no idea why and when I'd want to listen to "context variable initialized" events.
