[seam-dev] Using jboss-logging in your AS7 app

Hey guys, In case you don't know how to do this already, to set up your app to use jboss-logging in AS7 you need to add the following line to the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in your deployment: Dependencies: org.jboss.logging,org.jboss.logmanager The easiest way is to automate this as part of your Maven build by adding the following snippet to your pom.xml. Here's an example: <build> <finalName>seam-university</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> <archive> <manifestEntries> <Dependencies>org.slf4j.impl,org.jboss.logging,org.jboss.logmanager</Dependencies> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> Stuart has also written a great article about class loading in AS7, which you can find at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Class+Loading+in+AS7 - I recommend that all Seam devs read it. Thanks to Stuart for the above tip, and for the article. Module leads, can you please update your examples if they use jboss-logging (most examples, if not all will most likely use it indirectly through solder). Shane
