JBoss 7 AS with slf4j-log4j and log4j.xml in the application

[dkumaran]

Hi all,,

we are in the process of upgrading our application server from JBoss 5.1.0GA to the latest. we have tested a sample CDI application with JBoss 6.0 AS and now we are trying to deploy the same application in Jboss 7 AS, but the slf4j-log4j logging is not working and the FileAppender is not able to find.

sample application with CDI Interceptor and it works fine and I am using the standalone version

In our  application we are using slf4j with slf4j-log4j binder so i have added manually slf4j-log4j12 module to JBoss 7AS (jboss-as-7.0.0.Final\modules\org\slf4j\slf4j-log4j12\main),  and  added in our application war file MENI-FEST for org.slf4j.slf4j-log4j12 dependencies.   In debug mode i could able see log4j binding is happening (org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter).

so current issue is that i have log4j.xml in my application WEB-INF\  folder and it's not able load and log into the specified File.  i have customized the log4j PatternLayout to CustomPatternLayout.

<appender name="R" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

        <param name="file" value="D:/server/log/sampleApp.log" />

        <param name="MaxFileSize" value="100KB" />

        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" />

        <layout class="com.sample.log4j.layout.CustomPatternLayout">

            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%p %t %c - %m%n" />

        </layout>

    </appender>

    <category name="org.weld">

        <priority value="DEBUG" />

        <appender-ref ref="R" />

    </category>

    <root>

        <priority value="debug" />

        <appender-ref ref="R" />

    </root>

Please help us in resolving this slf4j-log4j logging Issue.

Move it to WEB-INF/classes folder.

Jboss 7 and slf4j integration is working and sample source is attached in the following thread.

It was working with this configuration:

/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss-deployment-structure>

  <deployment>

    <exclusions>

        <module name="org.apache.log4j" />

        <module name="org.slf4j" />

        <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />       

    </exclusions>

  </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>
