Hi, When trying out the log4j2 Kafka appender, it works ok if all the log4j2/kafka-client related jars are packaged in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib, like:
>ls WEB-INF/lib/
jackson-core-2.8.1.jar
log4j-core-2.6.2.jar
lz4-1.3.0.jar
kafka-clients-0.10.0.1.jar
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.6.2.jar
slf4j-api-1.7.21.jar
log4j-api-2.6.2.jar
log4j-web-2.6.2.jar
snappy-java-1.1.2.6.jar
But if the jars are provided in tomcat/lib (for all webapps), and each
webapp will have its own log4j2.xml (as in attached war), then when
launching the webapp, will encounter:
-----

---------
(full stack trace as in attached catalina.out)
To reproduce the error, simply:
1) build the attached webapp, and deploy the output to tomcat/webapps
2) move the WEB-INF/lib/*.jar to tomcat/lib (make sure WEB-INF/lib is
empty after move)
3) start tomcat
Tested with tomcat 7.0.70
Anyone encounter similar problem? or is this a bug? (log4j2 or
kafka-client bug?)
Thanks,
Bill
