Thanks for your answer but that wasn't the problem. In the end there was a stray log4j 1.x JAR still in the application artifact, after removing that everything worked fine. This wasn't clear from Log4J2's own debug logging, according to that everything was fine. I don't know why this kind of classpath problem (which I guess it is) doesn't lead to visible log errors. Ah well, all is well that ends well!
