I'll vote for being able to set it from JMX.
For the future, how about using two variables:
* one non-final, perhaps called verbose, that generates additional
information that a user would find helpful (e.g. SQL log)
* one final, perhaps called debug, that generates even more output
intended for someone actually debugging the container

Oops - looks like a controversial one...
I was assuming that since the debug output was controlled by variable and
not just by the jboss.conf logging options that it was very much a
development only kind of output. And thus we would want to optimise it out
at the earliest opportunity in a prod environment - to make that CMP stuff
really fly ;-)
Maybe I was wrong.
I can see that changing it at runtime has some advantages - and I didn't
'twig' that I could just set the flag from my code too - which might be
useful...
Please vote and I'll amend it accordingly.
Chris
