Logback not working with JBoss EAP 6.1 - maven

Question

I have a maven web application in which I am using logback and JBoss EAP 6.1 as server. The problem is that when I deploy it on server, my logback.xml is ignored and logback's default configuration is used which prints on console instead of my log file. Logging works fine if I deploy my application on tomcat.
I have put logback.xml in src/main/resources.
Found similar question at - Logging Configuration in Logback + SL4J + JBoss EAP 6.0
and
Logback and Jboss 7 - don't work together?
but no use...

Answer 1

Forgot to share the solution earlier..here it is -
We need to add following lines in jboss-deployment-structure.xml
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.slf4j.ext" />
<module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
</exclusions>
So the entire file looks like -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<!-- Exclusions allow you to prevent the server from automatically adding
some dependencies -->
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.slf4j.ext" />
<module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
</exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
If you have a maven project, you can put this file at -
<project>/webapp/META-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml
Now logging will work fine.

First, thanks to #popeye
Climbing on to what #popeye has well defined, here are my 2 cents
Location of 'jboss-deployment-structure.xml' : src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<!-- Hey Server please don't add these dependencies. I don't need them.
I have mine in my application dependencies -->
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.slf4j.ext" />
<module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<module name="com.oracle" />
<module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" slot="main" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
Now, logback.xml is in action. yo!
why is this needed - <module name="com.oracle" /> ?
This is the name of module of driver you mentioned in JBOSS standalone.xml
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.1">
<datasources>
<datasource><!-- your configurations --></datasource>
<drivers>
<driver name="ojdbc6-11.2.0.4" module="com.oracle">
<xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</xa-datasource-class>
</driver>
</drivers>
</datasources>
</subsystem>
Note that this is for JBOSS server to Database communication.
[Even if you have ojdbc6-11.2.0.4.jar in your project/lib you need this configuration ]
How did you come up with this name 'com.oracle'? Is that a standard ?
No . This is the struture of folder I created on server
Look at this SO post here - Xmlparserv2 error while application deployed in jboss, Installing Oracle ojdbc module in JBoss for Java web application 'How to create a Oracle module in JBOSS'
Also note not to confuse this one with the dependency that you might add in your project pom.xml.
ie: this one
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
<version>11.2.0.4</version>
<scope>provided</scope> <!-- to exclude from WEB-INF/lib -->
</dependency>
The above project dependency is needed for you to write the Java code, get it compiled,
and also during runtime, for your code to communicate to the driver.
why is this needed - <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" slot="main" /> ?
Otherwise you might get an error to get a jndi datasource set on JBoss in your Spring application.
So that's a dependency. Don't forget to add the jar as well in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.ironjacamar</groupId>
<artifactId>ironjacamar-jdbc</artifactId>
</dependency>
