Hi,
Thank you very much for the reply.
Initially I got error [1] when I am trying to test the appender in non-OSGi
environment. This was due to not passing the correct number of parameters
to the factory method. I have updated my log4j2.xml and then could solve
the issue[1] in non-OSGi env. I have applied the same configuration to OSGi
environment as well.
Now I am seeing error[2],which seems to be a class loading issue as you
have mentioned. I did added the plugin processor in my pom.xml but still
seeing the same issue. While comparing the OSGi bundle and the non-OSGi jar
I could see that the Log4j2Plugins.dat file is missing in the OSGi bundle. I
have added the package name to configuration element as well. (as per the
pom.xml [3] I am using log4j2 2.5)
[1] Unable to invoke factory method in class ...
[2] ERROR Error processing element HTTPSocket: CLASS_NOT_FOUND
