This is really a ‘nit’ but I noticed that the log4j properties file is created with deprecated code.
...
log4j.category.atomikos=ERROR, STDOUT
log4j.category.org.springframework=ERROR, STDOUT
# use this category for skyway / spring util output
#log4j.category.org.skyway.spring.util=DEBUG, STDOUT
The use of ‘category’ should be replaced with ‘logger’ ref: http://articles.qos.ch/preparingFor13.html
