OIM Log file DEBUG isn't showing up

Question

Hi All,
I have the following in some java code:
this.logger = Logger.getLogger("Flat File Reconciliation");
and I'm trying to change the log output to show DEBUg messages, currently it only shows INFO.
I have added:
<category name="Flat File Reconciliation">
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
</category>
to my jboss log4j.xml file, restarted OIM, but I still only see INFO [FLAT FILE RECONCILIATION] in the log. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much
Alex

Answer 1

So I added
log4j.logger.FLAT FILE RECONCILIATION=DEBUG
to my log.properties file but still no go. I thought this file isn't used if using jboss?
Here is my log4j.xml file in case someone picks up a bad configuration:
