Description

I am testing log4j2 on JBOSS EAP 5.0. I have copied log4j2.xml in JBOSS_HOME\server\default\conf and add the system property in eclipse server launch configuration as below:

-Dlog4j.configurationFile=C:\softwares\jboss-eap-5.0.1\jboss-eap-5.0\jboss-as\server\default\conf\log4j2.xml

if i modify log4j.xml and change log level etc. those changes are not picked up by log4j. below is my log4j2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration name="log4j2-Test" status="DEBUG" monitorInterval="5" strict="true">
<appenders>
<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d

{HH:mm:ss.SSS}

[%t] %-5level %logger

{36}

- %msg%n"/>
</Console>
</appenders>
<loggers>
<logger name="com.xyz" level="DEBUG" >
<appender-ref ref="Console"/>
</logger>
<root level="error">
<appender-ref ref="Console"/>
</root>
</loggers>
</configuration>
