Use my log4j under jboss 6

jboss, jboss6.x, log4j

Solution

I solved my problem doing the following: put jboss-deployment-structure.xml inside web\META-INF with the following in the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
    </exclusions>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

And add this to the startup of the server: -Dorg.jboss.as.logging.per-deployment=false

Problem

I want to deploy my web application on JBOSS6. The applicaation itself works, but the logging doens't. I use log4j and have added a jboss-deployment-structure.xml to my war. The contents are ``` <jboss-deployment-structure> <deployment> <!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from automatically adding some dependencies --> <exclusions> <module name="org.apache.log4j" /> <module name="org.jboss.logging" /> </exclusions> </deployment> ``` In my log4j.xml I have ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "dtd/log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false"> <appender name="LogAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> <param name="File" value="C:\\logs\\web.log"/> <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10000KB"/> <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%x %-5p [%d{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss}] - %c:%L - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <logger name="be.sofico.web"> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="LogAppender" /> </logger> ``` This all works fine on tomcat and websphere (when I set classloading parent last) How can I get it to work on JBOSS 6?
