JBoss AS 7 Log4j in webapplication not change log level

Here is content of files

classes/log4j.properties

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - <%m>%n

# Enable web flow logging
log4j.category.org.springframework.webflow=DEBUG
log4j.category.org.springframework.faces=DEBUG
log4j.category.org.springframework.binding=DEBUG
log4j.category.org.springframework.transaction=DEBUG

pom.xml

<dependency>
   <groupId>log4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.17</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
   <version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
   <exclusions>
           <exclusion>
                <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
                <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
           </exclusion>
   </exclusions>
</dependency>

For each dependency which contain commons-logging, SLF4j is make exclusion.

WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>        
        <exclusions>
             <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        </exclusions>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

When I start server in eclipse on console I still see only INFO log and WARN. I need DEBUG logging spring framework. What's is wrong with this configuration??

Nothing much clear about it. Seems like a bug with AS7

To have app specific logging level you need to

configure in your app in WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties or log4j.properties or log4j.xml

refer ondrej ziska comment at AS7-514 for detailed info

From the JBoss wiki page on configuring your application using log4j at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/How+To:

I see in step 2, Include the log4j.properties or log4j.xml file in the lib/ directory in your deployment.

You had your log4j.properties in classes/ directory. Either your log4j properties is not correctly picked up(configuration error)or the documentation is incorrect.

If it does not work from the lib/ directory, the jboss documentation needs to be fixed.

The configuration is included in the logging subsystem of the AS7, e.g. in the domain.xml or standalone.xml depending of the profile and mode.

You need to add a log category for org.spring and increase the log level threshold of the console handler.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.1">
  <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
    ...    
  </console-handler>

  ...

  <logger category="org.spring">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
  </logger>

  ...
</subsystem>
