Changing Seam Logger Category to DEBUG in JBoss

I'm new to Seam and trying to make good use out of it. I'm struggling a bit sometimes to figure out how I used to be able to do things in the old way and then trying to do it the Seam way.

For instance to configure a Logger.

Old Version

package com.example.session;
public class Example {
  private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Example.class);
  public Example() {
    log.debug("init Example");
  } 
}

Seam Version

package com.example.session;
public class Example {
  @Logger private Log log;
  public Example() {
    log.debug("init Example");
  } 
}

Question: Does 'log' in Seam version is the same as LogFactory.getLog(Example.class) which has a category name of com.example.session.Example.

When running under JBoss (jboss-log4j.xml) seem to indicate the default log category will be INFO.

I tried adding the following to jboss-log4j.xml and it still didn't output the debug statement in Example class. Am I missing something here?

   <category name="com.example">
      <priority value="DEBUG"/>
   </category>
