[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - WAR file produces commons-logging LogConfigurationException

[pdesj]

I am trying to deploy a web application on JBoss 4.2.1.  This is part of the Eclipse project (the infocenter user assistance system) and I have consulted it's developers.  It's not a pressing issue for them since the WAR files work under other application servers and earlier versions of JBoss.  I have to support JBoss 4.2.1 though. 

The web application works perfectly under JBoss 4.0.1.sp1.  When I run it under 4.2.1 I see the errors pasted at the bottom when I try to open it in a browser.

My web searching has so far revealed that JBoss 4.2 introduced updated commons-logging and log4j versions.  The WAR file contains org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v200706111724.jar (version 1.0.4).  I have not configured JBoss to prefer the classes included in the WAR file.

Is this something that may be resolved by configuring JBoss to load the commons-logging classes from inside my WAR file and not it's own version?  Has anyone else confronted this?  Any pointer to a likely cause will be much appreciated.

Here are things I've tried so far.  None have worked.

* Removing the commons-logging JAR file from my WAR file.

* Adding the log4j.jar file (version 1.2.8) from JBoss 4.0.1.sp1 
  to my WAR file.

* A colleague suggested configuring the application to use Java logging 
  instead of log4j.  I have not had success doing this yet so I'm not 
  sure whether it will solve the problem.

The details of my system are:
JBoss version - 4.2.1.GA (no modifications from downloaded zip)
OS - Windows XP
Java version - jdk1.5.0_14

My WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml file contains this:

    <jboss-web>
      <class-loading>
        <loader-repository>com.example:archive=nexus-5-0-admin.war</loader-repository>
      </class-loading>
    </jboss-web>

Thanks.
