It's OK now. I wasn't keeping all my OJB.properties files well synchronized. My LoggerClass setting was
LoggerClass=org.apache.ojb.broker.util.logging.PoorMansLoggerImpl
rather than
LoggerClass=org.apache.ojb.broker.util.logging.Log4jLoggerImpl
I have different OJB.properties file for standalone OJB development and jboss development and they diverged.
In summary, to use log4j logging with OJB within jBoss,
1) set LoggerClass in OJB.properties as described above. There is no need for a log4j.properties file of OJB-specific log4j settings (in fact the OJB.properties setting LoggerConfigFile is ignored). Instead, the jBoss log4j configuration file must be used:
2) in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/log4j.xml, add categories to define appenders and add/filter logging for desired OJB packages following the numerous examples in that file. For example,
<category name="org.apache.ojb">
<priority value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
</category>
><category name="org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.RepositoryXmlHandler">
<priority value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
</category>Armin, do you think this is sufficiently on-topic to be a short addition to the deployment-jBoss section of the docs?

Hi all,
I'm having trouble turning on OJB logging with log4j within jBoss. My
jboss/server/default/conf/log4j.xml is below (Thanks Dave Derry). I'm able to control the level of org.jboss logging with this file, but the only OJB logging I see is level INFO. Can anyone see what's wrong?
Thanks,
Phil
