After startup and shutdown of the AS 7 CR 1 release, the async-handler configuration gets overwritten with improper element (subhandlers are changed to handlers), and it won't start again with editing the configuration. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-1148 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1148 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Domain Management, Logging Affects Versions: 7.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Andrig Miller Assignee: David Lloyd Priority: Critical Fix For: 7.0.0.Final I created a configuration to use asynchronous logging in standalone-ha.xml, and after successfully starting the server, running a test, and shutting it down, I could no longer restart the server without a parse error in standalone-ha.xml. What is happening, is the file is being rewritten, and it is replacing the subhandlers element with a handlers element which is incorrect. So, my configuration, that looks like this when I start the server: <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.0"> <async-handler name="ASYNC"> <level name="INFO"/> <queue-length value="1024"/> <overflow-action value="BLOCK"/> <subhandlers> <handler name="FILE"/> </subhandlers> </async-handler> <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true"> <level name="INFO"/> <formatter> <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/> </formatter> <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/> <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/> </periodic-rotating-file-handler> <logger category="com.arjuna"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <logger category="sun.rmi"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <root-logger> <level name="INFO"/> <handlers> <handler name="ASYNC"/> </handlers> </root-logger> </subsystem> ends up looking like this: <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.0"> <async-handler name="ASYNC"> <level name="INFO"/> <queue-length value="1024"/> <overflow-action value="BLOCK"/> <handlers> <handler name="FILE"/> </handlers> </async-handler> <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true"> <level name="INFO"/> <formatter> <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/> </formatter> <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/> <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/> </periodic-rotating-file-handler> <logger category="com.arjuna"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <logger category="sun.rmi"> <level name="WARN"/> </logger> <root-logger> <level name="INFO"/> <handlers> <handler name="ASYNC"/> </handlers> </root-logger> </subsystem> Which is wrong and fails parsing, which prevents the server from starting again, unless I hand edit the file again to correct it.
