Append message to JBoss Console using jboss-log4j.xml

Question

I'm unable to append messages from my application to the JBoss console. The following are the changes that I made to the jboss-log4j.xml configuration file:

<category name="com.tricubes">        
  <priority value="INFO"/>
  <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</category>

Here is my code:

public class OneToOneValidation2 {

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.tricubes");

public boolean validate(byte[] fpImage, byte[] fpTemplate, String desc, String ticket) {
    ...
        logger.info("BES INFO: SOCKET MSG SENT " + intToByteArray(x));            

    ...
    return b;
}

}

What am I missing?

TIA!

Edited:

The console appender. Also is the default appender used by JBoss.

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
  <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
  <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
  <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>

  <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
     <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
     <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
  </layout>

I have tried with both org.jboss.logging.Logger and org.apache.log4j.Logger;

Category is deprecated (use Logger), and Priority is not recommended (use Level). So your config block should be:

<logger name="com.tricubes">        
    <level value="INFO"/>
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</logger>

Also, what is your CONSOLE appender defined as? If its not pointing at the JBoss console, it wont log there.
