   The use-parent-handlers is set to "true" by default. When set to "true", this category will use the log handlers of the root logger in addition to any other assigned handlers.

   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
      <logger category="com.company.accounts.rec" use-parent-handlers="true">
