The new jboss provides the feature that allows to have per deployment logging configuration (see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-514)
I tried creating a logging.properties file and this works fine for configuring a different log file or a different global level.
What doesn't seem to work (and I probably just did a stupid mistake which I can't find), is to specify a different log level for a certain category
neo.ear/META-INF/logging.properties
loggers=NeoTimer logger.level=ERROR logger.handlers=CONSOLE, FILE logger.NeoTimer.level=INFO # Console handler configuration handler.CONSOLE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.ConsoleHandler handler.CONSOLE.level=INFO handler.CONSOLE.properties=autoFlush handler.CONSOLE.autoFlush=true handler.CONSOLE.formatter=PATTERN # File handler configuration handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler handler.FILE.level=INFO handler.FILE.properties=autoFlush,fileName handler.FILE.autoFlush=true handler.FILE.fileName=/neo/apps/jboss/standalone/log/server.log handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN # The log format pattern for both logs formatter.PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter formatter.PATTERN.properties=pattern formatter.PATTERN.pattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n
Logging happens jusing slf4j and is in neo.ear/lib/neo-common.jar
private static final Logger DEFAULT_LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger("NeoTimer"); logger.info("my message");
Changing global stuff such as the handlers or the global levels works (so the log file is picked up) but the configuration for the NeoTimer does not work.
