jboss-eap-7.1.0 stops logging serverstartup logs once it starts deploying cas.war of version 5.3.8

Question

I have deployed CAS 5.3.8 WAR file in JBOSS EAP 7.1.0. But on serverstartup once the JBOSS starts deployment of CAS WAR it stops logging the startup information, Below is the startup log,

After the above line no log is logged into server console. It does not even log startup information like,

Have set in standalone.xml. But this should not stop logging startup logs. Here what I see is CAS.WAR has log4j2.xml in its WEB-INF. Does this cause any issue?

Answer 1

This is the same issue as JANDEX-40 which was reported for the upstream jandex component. We raised JBEAP-15261 for JBoss EAP 7.1.z. This log message won't be logged in the future EAP 7 releases (tentatively EAP 7.1.5 or later).

This is not harmful, so you can ignore this WARN message. However, if you want a workaround to suppress this WARN message, you can manually generate the annotation index and package the generated META-INF/jandex.idx in the problematic jar . Then, the annotation index is not generated for the jar during the deployment.

You can execute the following command to generate the annotation index and package the index in war (using -m option updates the specified jar file to include the annotation index):

    java -jar $JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/jandex/main/jandex-2.0.2.Final-redhat-1.jar -m log4j-api-2.11.1.jar

If you are using EAP 7.1.4 (or later), you can use the following command instead:

java -jar $JBOSS_HOME/jboss-modules.jar -mp $JBOSS_HOME/modules/ org.jboss.jandex -m log4j-api-2.11.1.jar

Note that the automatic annotation scanning of modules was added to EAP 7 by AS7-944. The current implementation in EAP 7 is an all or nothing. If the index is added to a jar file inside the module, no scanning at all is executed. So, you may need to execute all of jar files which are packaged in your application.
