JBoss 7.1 failing to deploy war

Question

I thought I had everything I need, but I get this error:

This is what my xml file looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
    <exclusions>
        <module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
        <module name="org.apache.log4j" />
        <module name="org.jboss.logging" />
        <module name="org.jboss.logging.jul-to-slf4j-stub" />
        <module name="org.jboss.logmanager" />
        <module name="org.jboss.logmanager.log4j" />
        <module name="org.slf4j" />
        <module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
    </exclusions>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Am I missing something here? I thought the namespace was required? Can anyone shed some light on why my application won't deploy?

Answer 1

Remove the xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" part.
