What you’re looking at is the JBoss boot/console log. Judging by those paths, you should find the main log file in /home/mebada/jad/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/<servername>/log/server.log. Substitute <servername> appropriately – probably with default if you haven’t specified the -c flag when you started up.

The <servername>/conf/jboss-log4j.xml defines the specific logging configuration, including which log messages go to which logs.
