"Handler java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler is not defined" when deploying Spring Boot WAR in Widlfy

Question

I'm trying to develop a web application in Spring Boot to run on WildFly Full 23.0.2.Final. The WildFly server is already running some 3rd EAR and WAR modules.

Once I build my WAR file and place in deployments following message appears in Console log:

Handler java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler is not defined 

and starting this point no log events will appears from any entity, even from 3rd EAR and WAR modules.

I would like to use Log4j2 or even simple System.out.println.

I'm pretty sure that my pom.xml is the reason, I have to make an exclusion for

                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
                <exclusions>  
                    <exclusion>                           
                         <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>  
                         <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>  
                    </exclusion>  
               </exclusions>  

please help to understand and resolve the problem.

Answer 1

Create a logging.properties file and put it on the classpath

src/main/resources/logging.properties

content of logging.properties:

handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler .level=INFO

Answer 2

@sGizmo Thanks your answer solved my issue. With Wildfly 26.1.1.Final, only adding logging.level.root=info to application.properties
