Overview

This example is intended for those using Log4J directly. If you are already using SLF4J, (and you should be) you can simply use SLF4JBridgeHandler which is part of the jul-to-slf4j module. JBoss 5.x has a built in JUL redirect feature. This is not needed if you are using JBoss 5.x or higher.

Here's a little Handler I made that routes java.util.logging messsages to Log4J. These are all available here:

• http://yajul.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yajul/trunk/src/main/java/org/yajul/log/
• Package summary

This very nicely solves the Facelets 'loadImplicit' error issue as well as giving you the flexibility to enable more detailed logging for the JSF reference implementation.

Adding it to JBoss AS

Once you have the classes in the classpath, just add the following to conf/jboss-service.xml right after the Log4JService declaration:

NOTE: This is not needed in JBoss 5.x, it already has this feature.
