can not use logback binding for slf4j on jboss5.1.1

Question

My application has slf4j logging it should use logback binding, when I try to run on jboss it uses default binding for slf4j in jboss. It throws multiple binding error as it finds logback and jboss binding both. Also I am using slf4j1.7.2 with logback 1.0.9 but I receives error saying SLF4J: The requested version 1.6 by your slf4j binding is not compatible with [1.5.5, 1.5.6, 1.5.7, 1.5.8] Please help me on this

The step by step guide is at: http://jaitechwriteups.blogspot.com/2010/04/eclipse-logback-plugin-with-jboss-as.html

The key is to have a class-loader isolation defined in your jboss-web.xml (assuming it is for web app) Other links that may be helpful (I have to put the links as text as I'm not allowed to put more than 2 links in a post)

If you are using Maven please remember:

• you have to make sure your libraries are not pulling older versions of slf4j by their dependencies, declare it directly if needed

• you do not have log4j in your WEB-INF/lib, if some of your libraries depend on log4j or commons-logging declare relevant bridges (see links above or http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#excludingJCL)
