Thanks for input.

I've tried the following:

- moved deployment-structure.xml up to ear, and upped the pom version to 2.7 as you wrote

- added log4j as compile/jar to both ear and war project (also with deployment-struct.xml)

- added log4j as compile/jar to ear and provided/jar to both ejb and war project (also with deployment-struct.xml)

Still it doesn't print out to desired log file.

I've attached the latest project sample

Ok. It seems that the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file in the EAR must contain:

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        </exclusions>
    </deployment>
    <sub-deployment name="Test-ejb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar">
        <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        </exclusions>
    </sub-deployment>
    <sub-deployment name="Test-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war">
        <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        </exclusions>
    </sub-deployment>    
</jboss-deployment-structure>
{code}

I suspect that you can remove the WAR sub-deployment element above if you leave the existing jboss-deployment-structure.xml file in the WAR file, but I did not try that.

I used only the above jboss-deployment-structure.xml in the EAR and removed the one you had in the last EAR and it worked for me.

Also, I see that you changed the log4j dependencies in the EJB and WAR projects to scope "provided". This is not necessary as the maven-ear-plugin figures all this stuff out correctly these days.

Thank you Stephen, I really appriciate your answer.

There is one thing I noticed, and it is that -ejb package doesn't get logged in the file specified in log4j properties. Do you maybe know why? I suspect it i because I only initialize log4j properties from external file in the -web module and somehow it doesn't affect the -ejb module although category is set so, that It should be avail in both. (on other app servers this works)

The modified example that I attached to my previous example works for me.

If I use the "Register" button, I get

11:11:45,740 INFO  [MemberRegistration] Registering Fred

in the log file.

If it's not working for you, this indicates that there is still a copy of the log4j.jar in your webapp.

Note that I'm testing without an IDE at this point.

Yes it works as you said. It is needed to say that in JBDS 5 beta 1, logging doesn't work from ejb...don't know why, guess it's some IDE/JBoss Tools quirk. Where do I open this issue?

Thank you again!
