------------------------------------

             Summary: classloader URI scheme broken or insufficient when using 
Log4jContextListener
                 Key: LOG4J2-293
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-293
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Neale Upstone


I'm trying to migrate to Log4j2, and things looked promising when I spotted 
Log4jContextListener.

However, there are too many holes.

Firstly, I tried using classpath: as a scheme, and nothing blew up, so I 
assumed I'd got it right.

Then I *looked at the code* (which shouldn't be how we find out) and eventually 
discovered some code relating to a 'classloader' scheme.

Still silent failure.  It seems that the classpath is not being searched, 
perhaps just the WAR classloader, not the JARs in WEB-INF/lib.

Next I tried omitting the / (i.e. using classloader:log4j2.xml) and got a 
NullPointerException.

Can you please document what schemes are supported and what you expect them to 
do, and *not fail silently* when a configuration file is specified, but nothing 
happens.
