[JBoss] experiensing "Protocol vfs has not been enabled as an allowed protocol" error while...

I am working on developing a spring boot(3.3.5) web service with log4j2 as my logging library. I generated a spring boot project from spring initializer, excluded the logging from web module to exclude the logback from the spring boot and added the following log4j2 recommended dependencies

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-spring-boot</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.3.4</version>
</dependency>


added properties to config how to log

<log.entry.pattern><![CDATA[%d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} | %t | %-5p | %c{1}: %m%n]]></log.entry.pattern>
<log.file.root>/service/logs</log.file.root>
<log.file.name>${log.file.root}/${project.artifactId}/${project.artifactId}.log</log.file.name>
<log.file.pattern>${log.file.root}/${project.artifactId}/${project.artifactId}-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</log.file.pattern>


added log4j2-spring.xml as follows in the src/main/resources

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="FILE"
fileName="/bcbsapps/logs/@project.artifactId@/@project.artifactId@.log"
filePattern="/bcbsapps/logs/@project.artifactId@/@project.artifactId@-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log">
<PatternLayout>
<pattern><![CDATA[%d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} | %t | %-5p | %c{1}: %m%n]]></pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true"/>
</Policies>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>

<Loggers>
<Root level="debug">
<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>


added controller method to just have some basic logging messages

@GetMapping("/testlogs")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public void fetch() {

LOGGER.debug("Debug log message");
LOGGER.info("Info log message");
LOGGER.error("Error log message");
LOGGER.warn("Warn log message");
LOGGER.trace("Trace log message");
}


My jboss-deployment-structure.xml looks as below


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

my folder structure is as follows
