Logging seemed to work fine when i was using AS 7.1 with log4j libs and code, now when using 7.2, i do not see the expected logging using log4j.

I follow the migration guide:

Procedure 3.5. Configure JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 to use a log4 j.properties

or log4 j.xml file

1. 1. Create a jboss-deploym ent-structure.xm l with the following content:

<jboss-deploym ent-structure>

<deploym ent>

<!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from autom atically

adding som e dependencies -->

<exclusions>

<m odule nam e="org.apache.log4j" />

</exclusions>

</deploym ent>

</jboss-deploym ent-structure>

1. 2. Place the jboss-deploym ent-structure.xm l file in either the MET A-INF/ directory or the

WEB-INF/ directory if you are deploying a WAR, or in the MET A-INF/ directory if you are

deploying an EAR.

1. 3. Include the log4 j.properties or log4 j.xm l file in the lib/ directory in your deployment.
2. 4. Start the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 server with the following runtime argument to

prevent a ClassCastException from appearing in the console when you deploy the application:

-Dorg.jboss.as.logging.per-deploym ent=false

1. 5. Deploy your application.

And then i get an exception that log4j classes cannot be found, which i would expect if i exclude log4j from the deployment.
