title: OpenJPA logging with slf4j on WebSphere
body: <p>My Java EE 6 application uses slf4j with logback as logging framework.
  Now I want to add the SQL traces of OpenJpa to my log files. The OpenJpa-Documentation says, I can use a parameter to this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;property name="openjpa.Log" value="slf4j"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use the WebSphere Application Server v8.0.0.1 as Java EE container. If I deploy my application to the server, this parameter does not change anything. I can change log levels in WebSphere Admin Console and this works fine. But a cannot bypass the OpenJpa logging to my slf4j framework.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone uses such configuration and solved the problem?</p>
  
  <p>Btw. I know, that the InformationCenter-Article <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.nd.doc%2Finfo%2Fae%2Fae%2Ftejb_jpatroubleshoot.html" rel="nofollow">http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.nd.doc%2Finfo%2Fae%2Fae%2Ftejb_jpatroubleshoot.html</a>
   says, that the parameter will be ignored, but everything should be possible, eh?</p>
