Dan D [https://community.jboss.org/people/norad_2] created the discussion "Logging with slf4j in 7.1.0.Final" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/718928#718928 -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 00:30:07,297 WARN  org.jboss.modules org.jboss.modules
