I configured AS 7 CR 1 to use Asynchronous logging as that release had the fix in it to have it parse the configuration correctly, but nothing ever gets written to the server.log.

My configuration is as follows:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.0">
<async-handler name="ASYNC">
<level name="INFO"/>
<queue-length value="1024"/>
<overflow-action value="BLOCK"/>
<subhandlers>
<handler name="FILE"/>
</subhandlers>
</async-handler>
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
<level name="INFO"/>
<formatter>
<pattern-formatter pattern="%d

%-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
</formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
<suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>
<logger category="com.arjuna">
<level name="WARN"/>
</logger>
<logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
<level name="WARN"/>
</logger>
<logger category="sun.rmi">
<level name="WARN"/>
</logger>
<root-logger>
<level name="INFO"/>
<handlers>
<handler name="ASYNC"/>
</handlers>
</root-logger>
</subsystem>
