I often catch myself writing info-messages because jboss is configured to info-mode by default. By adding the following few lines you can make your application use debug mode:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:2.0"> ... <!-- add begin --> <console-handler name="DEBUGCONSOLE"> <level name="DEBUG" /> <formatter> <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%F:%L) %s%E%n" /> </formatter> </console-handler> <logger category="pm.mbo" use-parent-handlers="false"> <level name="DEBUG" /> <handlers> <handler name="DEBUGCONSOLE" /> </handlers> </logger> <!-- add end --> ... </subsystem>
Of course you have to change the category (your package name) in the logger. The snippet is from Wildfly 8.1. But it is the same approach for JBoss AS 7+.
