Enable useful transaction logging in jboss 7.1.x

I'm trying to analyse a problem related to some transaction things happening which I don't expect.

For this I just want to see some transaction logs. We're using jBoss AS 7.1.x and CMT. I already enabled 

<logger category="com.arjuna.ats" use-parent-handlers="true">
    <level name="TRACE"/>
</logger>

But this throws so many logs (~100 between begin and commit) that it's nearly impossible to see the (for me) important things (begin, commit, rollback transaction).

As far as I see the relevant class is 

com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction

but there are no logs if I put:

<logger category="com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction" use-parent-handlers="true">
    <level name="TRACE"/>
</logger>

It is also not possible to deactivate other anoying logs by setting them to ERROR.

Try setting

<logger category="com.arjuna.ats.jta">
    <level name="TRACE"/>
</logger>

The reason is that it is not the class or package hierarchy that determines the logging category, although that is often a good idea. But the Arjuna developers explicitly set it to "com.arjuna.ats.jta" for all classes in their JTA package.

I also have set

<logger category="com.arjuna">
    <level name="WARN"/>
</logger>

to get rid of most of the clutter.
