Wildfly 8.2.0 application logging with logback

[t.becker]

Hi everyone,

I want my ear application to log via logback and use the logback.xml provided by the app. I found that I need to exclude the logging subsystem in jboss to use the logging jars provided in the application and I did it like so:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
  <deployment>
  <dependencies>
  <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
  </dependencies>
  <exclude-subsystems>
  <subsystem name="logging" />
  </exclude-subsystems>
  </deployment>
  <sub-deployment name="logiq-web.war">
  <dependencies>
  <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
  </dependencies>
  <local-last value="true" />
  <exclude-subsystems>
  <subsystem name="logging" />
  </exclude-subsystems>
  </sub-deployment>
  <sub-deployment name="logiq-ejb.jar">
  <dependencies>
  <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
  </dependencies>
  <exclude-subsystems>
  <subsystem name="logging" />
  </exclude-subsystems>
  </sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

However this just leads to the following NoClassDefFoundError:

[2015-04-15 09:54:57,657] Artifact logiq-ear:ear: java.lang.Exception: {"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.persistenceunit.\"logiq-ear.ear/logiq-ejb.jar#logiq-pu\"" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.persistenceunit.\"logiq-ear.ear/logiq-ejb.jar#logiq-pu\": java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/logging/Logger

    Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/logging/Logger

    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.logging.Logger from [Module \"deployment.logiq-ear.ear:main\" from Service Module Loader]"}}

What am I missing here? Or what am I doing wrong?

Thx for any help!

Cheers,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I tried something like following on WildFly 8.2 and it seems to be working fine in

Test.ear

├── logback_SLFf4j_Demo.war

│   ├── index.jsp

│   └── WEB-INF

│       ├── classes

│       │   ├── logback.xml

│       │   ├── servlets

│       │   │   └── TestServlet.class

│       │   └── TestServlet.java

│       └── lib

│           ├── logback-classic-1.1.2.jar

│           ├── logback-core-1.1.2.jar

│           └── slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar

└── META-INF

    ├── application.xml

    └── jboss-deployment-structure.xml

My "Test.ear/META-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml" looks like following where rather than excluding the subsystem logging i did the following:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
      <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
      <deployment>
             <dependencies>
                 <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
             </dependencies>
             <exclusions>
                 <module name="org.slf4j" />
                 <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
             </exclusions>
      </deployment>
      <sub-deployment name="logback_SLFf4j_Demo.war">
             <dependencies>
                 <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
             </dependencies>
             <exclusions>
                 <module name="org.slf4j" />
                 <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
             </exclusions>
             <local-last value="true" />
      </sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

So in your case may be you can try it something like following:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
      <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>
      <deployment>
             <dependencies>
                 <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
             </dependencies>
             <exclusions>
                 <module name="org.slf4j" />
                 <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
             </exclusions>
      </deployment>
      <sub-deployment name="logiq-web.war">
             <dependencies>
                 <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
             </dependencies>
             <exclusions>
                 <module name="org.slf4j" />
                 <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
             </exclusions>
             <local-last value="true" />
      </sub-deployment>
      <sub-deployment name="logiq-ejb.jar">
             <dependencies>
                 <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />
             </dependencies>
             <exclusions>
                 <module name="org.slf4j" />
                 <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
             </exclusions>
     </sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Hey Jay Kumar,

thx for your reply! I've tried something similar yesterday:

<!-- Aktiviert Hibernate Search für die Module im EAR file -->

<jboss-deployment-structure>

    <ear-subdeployments-isolated>false</ear-subdeployments-isolated>

    <deployment>

        <dependencies>

            <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />

        </dependencies>

        <exclusions>

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

            <module name="org.slf4j" />

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

        </exclusions>

    </deployment>

    <sub-deployment name="logiq-web.war">

        <dependencies>

            <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />

        </dependencies>

        <local-last value="true" />

        <exclusions>

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

            <module name="org.slf4j" />

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

        </exclusions>

    </sub-deployment>

    <sub-deployment name="logiq-ejb.jar">

        <dependencies>

            <module name="org.hibernate.search.orm" services="export" />

        </dependencies>

        <exclusions>

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

            <module name="org.slf4j" />

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

        </exclusions>

    </sub-deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

With the effect that the application started and used my logback.xml. However I have now a combination of the logging pattern in jboss and my logback message:

[0m [0m12:15:09,833 INFO  [stdout] (default task-64) 12:15:09.833 [default task-64] [username qeoFoKk2Du0H6WiSgxEX8l3i] DEBUG some.package.event.ExecutionMonitor - execution finished: Execution [z_kn4-801175321] - 5756ms, 570 event(s) taking 1584674µs

What's the cause of this now and how can I avoid it?
