Append message to JBoss Console using jboss-log4j.xml - jboss

Question

I'm unable to append messages from my application to the JBoss console. The following are the changes that I made to the jboss-log4j.xml configuration file:
<category name="com.tricubes">
<priority value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</category>
Here is my code:
public class OneToOneValidation2 {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.tricubes");
public boolean validate(byte[] fpImage, byte[] fpTemplate, String desc, String ticket) {
...
logger.info("BES INFO: SOCKET MSG SENT " + intToByteArray(x));
...
return b;
}
}
What am I missing?
TIA!
Edited:
The console appender. Also is the default appender used by JBoss.
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
<param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
</layout>
I have tried with both org.jboss.logging.Logger and org.apache.log4j.Logger;

Category is deprecated (use Logger), and Priority is not recommended (use Level). So your config block should be:
<logger name="com.tricubes">
<level value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</logger>
Also, what is your CONSOLE appender defined as? If its not pointing at the JBoss console, it wont log there.
