wildfly did not find jar inside war

Question

After changing ear to war, wildfly 10 cant find the jar file from jboss-deployment-structure.xml from sub-deployment section. There is no gui.ejb.jar in war after project buildin and I copy it to war manually. I try to root folder and to WEB-INF lib. Help please how to fix it.

Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: WFLYSRV0166: Sub deployment gui.ejb.jar in jboss-deployment-structure.xml was not found. Available sub deployments: at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.module.descriptor.DeploymentStructureDescriptorParser.subDeploymentNotFound(DeploymentStructureDescriptorParser.java:288) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.module.descriptor.DeploymentStructureDescriptorParser.deploy(DeploymentStructureDescriptorParser.java:190) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:147) ... 5 more

A WAR deployment does not have a sub-deployment. You can remove the <sub-deployment/> element and it will be inherited from the main deployment element.

As a side note it looks a bit weird to both include and exclude the org.slf4j module. If you're attempting to use you're own slf4j binding you'd need to keep it excluded and include an slf4j-api and binding library.
