title: Logging Pattern - not logging the cause
body: <p>I am having some issues with logging.  After reviewing JBoss Seam source code, I believe the problem is there.  I would like to see JBoss Seam migrate to SLF4J since Hibernate code already uses it.</p>
  
  <p>I think the issue is I don't have log4j available and I don't have Logback configured to use JDK logging.</p>
  
  <p>I guess for the time-being, I need to use one of those to get the logs functioning again.</p>
  
  <p>Actually, on second thought, I will just use a static logger.  The advantage of the JBoss Seam logger (once it works), is that it can process EL, but honestly, I'm not using that anywhere in my logs.  It is a nice feature to have, but I can still get what I want without support for EL.</p>
