Hi Remko and Ralph, Thank you for your inputs.
I tried adding the context.updateLoggers() after initializing the context and it worked. I do agree that it would make better sense to have properties within log4j configuration to tailor for each application. I will try that in the next iteration.

However, he is calling System.setProperty to set the LoggerContext implementation to use AFTER the static Logger is created. There is no hope that could ever work. The best way to fix that would be to add the setting to log4j2.component.properties. It would also be much better to prepare the configuration before initializing the Logger just to avoid initializing Log4j twice. Also, I’m not sure I understand the reason for programmatic configuration. It would be easier to just call Configurator.initialize and pass it the name of a file where the file name is specific to the app. Better yet, if the configurations are similar just use properties within the log4j configuration to tailor them to each application.
