Mikael Ståldal updated LOG4J2-1535:
-----------------------------------
Description:
By putting the log4j2 and kafka appender related jars in tomcat/lib (instead of
packaged in WEB-INF/lib), got NullPointerException when initializing the
log4j2.xml.
Steps to reproduce:
1) unzip the attached kafka-test-src.tar.gz, build the project with maven:
> mvn clean package
2) get all the dependency jars by:
> mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
3) copy the *.jar from $project/target/dependency/*.jar to tomcat/lib/
4) deploy the war to tomcat
5) start tomcat
Will see errors like:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer.close(KafkaProducer.java:658)

This issue is triggered by the fact that the Kafka client library we use itself
does logging via SLF4J during initialization.
