JBoss LogManager supports frontends for all logging frameworks; I haven't integrated some of them yet because they aren't used by any internal components.  Here's the breakdown:

• Log4j - requires the log4j bridge implementation, not yet integrated
• JUL - natively supported by LogManager (done)
• Commons Logging - implemented using the "org.apache.commons.logging" module (which just reexports jcl-over-slf4j) (done)
• SLF4J - (done)
• JBoss Logging - (done)

I think that covers all the major ones.  If you open a JBAS issue for log4j and assign it to me, I'll get to it ASAP.

This page has some relevant info: Standalone JBoss LogManager

OK, it should be working now.   Log4j appears as "org.apache.log4j" in the module repository.

Hi,

Can someone step me thru how to setup log4j on JBoss AS7?

I've tried the following.

I have an EJB Jar file which has a "log4j.properties" file.

This same JAR file will log correctly on other AppServers (such as Glassfish).

I read else where that I must do the following in my "standalone.xml" file:

<size-rotating-file-handler name="MY_LOGGER">

    <level name="TRACE"/>

    <formatter>

        <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{MMM-dd hh:mm:ss} [%c{1}] %m%n"/>

    </formatter>

    <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="myLogger.log"/>

    <rotate-size value="9216K"/>

    <max-backup-index value="3"/>

</size-rotating-file-handler>

<logger category="com.mycompany">

    <level name="TRACE"/>

    <handlers>

        <handler name="MY_LOGGER"/>

    </handlers>

</logger>

I tried that and it still doesn't work

I don't want to do anything fancy. All I want is for my log statements to be written in a file called "myLogger.log".

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like I am having the same issues moving project that are Spring, Log4J from tomcat to JBoss AS7.. Can someone please give me a breakdown of the steps I have to take to get this working
