Step1: Create jboss-deployment-structure.xml under main project ---> src >---->conf directory with following configurations.

<--jboss-deployment-structure>
<--ear-subdeployments-isolated>false<--/ear-subdeployments-isolated>
<--deployment>
<--exclusions>
<--module name="org.apache.log4j" /> // you can configure the things here that you want to exclude from JBOSS
<--module name="org.slf4j" />
<--/exclusions>
<--/deployment>
<--sub-deployment name="YourApplicationName.war">// if you have sub modules
<--exclusions>
<--module name="org.apache.log4j" /> // you can configure the things here that you want to exclude from JBOSS
<--module name="org.dom4j" />
<--/exclusions>
<--/sub-deployment>
<--sub-deployment name="YourApplicationName .jar">
<--exclusions>
<--module name="org.apache.log4j"/> // you can configure the things here that you want to exclude from JBOSS
<--module name="org.dom4j" />
<--/exclusions>
<--/sub-deployment>
<--/jboss-deployment-structure>
