Hi All,
In 7.1.0.CR1b I could include my own slf4j-api/slf4j12 and log4j.xml and have my application not use the JBoss logging modules.
I did this for the following reasons:
1. JBoss logging seems to be based on java.util.logging, which has no support for Message Diagnostic Context, which I use heavily
2. JBoss logging currently has no support for JMS Appenders like org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender
Based on what I see in this JIRA, and what I am seeing since I upgraded from CR1b to Final, it seems like JBoss logging has been forced onto us.
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1389
"Log API dependencies should be included automatically in deployments"
The JIRA mentions being able to exclude the logging dependencies if I want to bring in my own.
I created a jboss-deployment-structure file
Now when I try to startup JBoss, I get warnings and errors and JBoss does not startup

I have the necessary slf4j jars included in my ear, and this is all working fine in CR1b.
