Thanks for pointing that out - I do indeed have a downlevel version of log4j source code. However, the JBoss source is NOT using org.apache.log4j.Logger, which as you point out extends Category. Instead the source is using org.jboss.logging.Logger, which does not extend Category, but instead wraps it.
