           Summary: Issue upgrading JBoss to log4j 1.2.12
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jasper_rosenberg@yahoo.com


JBoss's Log4jService loads the log4j.xml file, and then overwrites
System.err/System.out to redirect to log4j.

This used to work before 1.2.12 because the ConsoleAppender would always use the
stream with which it was initialized.  Unfortunately, with the fix of bug 31056
this trick no longer works, and an infinite loop is created.  

This seems like reasonable behavior to support, wanting to use the
ConsoleAppender, but also wanting to redirect all System.out/err to the logging
system.

Perhaps a boolean flag can be added to ConsoleAppender such as "cacheTarget", so
that in activateOptions() it behaves like 1.2.11 if cacheTarget is true, and
1.2.12 if cacheTarget is false.

Thanks,
Jasper
