application is not logging in jboss 5 - jboss

Question

Need help with jboss logging.I am new to jboss application server. I am able to start the application server and i do see in the server log that jboss has started. But when i click on the application and surf around the application that i have deployed i dont see any logging and i am wondering why.I have tried doing this in jboss-log4j.xml
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<priority value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
<priority value="INFO" />

Answer 1

You should create a new appender for your application in log4j.xml:
<appender name="MYAPPENDER" class=""org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
<param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/filename.log"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
<!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
-->
</layout>
And then specify a category after it:
<category name="com.my.package" additivity="false">
<priority value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="MYAPPENDER"/>
</category>
Where com.my.package is the (top level) package of your application. All classes in this package and its sub-packages will be logged to MYAPPENDER.
