Rafał Figas commented on LOG4J2-2956: ------------------------------------- Well, strange thing is that ADDING new dependency causes NoClassDefFoundError on something that worked perfectly fine before that addition. I am using latest Spring Boot 2.3.4.RELEASE with Java 11 and Spring Cloud Hoxton.RELEASE I've checked befor submitting bug, that all log4j dependecies are 2.13.3 version. My current dependency list is as follows (this is directly from jar file): {noformat} HdrHistogram-2.1.12.jar JavaEWAH-1.1.6.jar LatencyUtils-2.0.3.jar bcpkix-jdk15on-1.60.jar bcprov-jdk15on-1.60.jar commons-codec-1.14.jar commons-logging-1.2.jar httpclient-4.5.12.jar httpcore-4.4.13.jar jackson-annotations-2.11.2.jar jackson-core-2.11.2.jar jackson-databind-2.11.2.jar jackson-dataformat-yaml-2.11.2.jar jackson-datatype-jdk8-2.11.2.jar jackson-datatype-jsr310-2.11.2.jar jackson-module-parameter-names-2.11.2.jar jakarta.annotation-api-1.3.5.jar jakarta.el-3.0.3.jar jsch-0.1.54.jar jul-to-slf4j-1.7.30.jar jzlib-1.1.1.jar log4j-api-2.13.3.jar log4j-core-2.13.3.jar log4j-docker-2.13.3.jar log4j-jul-2.13.3.jar log4j-slf4j-impl-2.13.3.jar log4j-spring-cloud-config-client-2.13.3.jar micrometer-core-1.5.5.jar org.eclipse.jgit-5.1.3.201810200350-r.jar org.eclipse.jgit.http.apache-5.1.3.201810200350-r.jar slf4j-api-1.7.30.jar snakeyaml-1.26.jar spring-aop-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-beans-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-actuator-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-autoconfigure-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-configuration-processor-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-actuator-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-json-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-log4j2-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-tomcat-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-boot-starter-web-2.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-cloud-commons-2.2.0.RELEASE.jar spring-cloud-config-client-2.2.0.RELEASE.jar spring-cloud-config-server-2.2.0.RELEASE.jar spring-cloud-context-2.2.0.RELEASE.jar spring-context-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-context-support-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-core-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-expression-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-jcl-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-security-crypto-5.3.4.RELEASE.jar spring-security-rsa-1.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-web-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar spring-webmvc-5.2.9.RELEASE.jar tomcat-embed-core-9.0.38.jar tomcat-embed-websocket-9.0.38.jar{noformat} > Using log4j-spring-cloud-config-client and DynamicThresholdFilter cause Could > not initialize class > org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.ContextDataFactoryException > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-2956 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2956 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Spring > Affects Versions: 2.13.3 > Reporter: Rafał Figas > Priority: Major > > Assumptions: > # Application is a Spring Boot app. > # {{It is configured to use spring-boot-starter-log4j2}} > {{There is a log4j2.cfg.xml provided through logging.config property and it > is working fine.
