org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.ContextDataFactory.<clinit>(ContextDataFactory.java:49) ... 77 more{code} It seems that JMX is looking up a property that references Spring and it is trying to log something right after the configuration has been stored. It then tries to initialize ContextDataFactory but once again needs to look up a property and once again that tries to lookup a property. So the end result is that it finally ends up with an uninitialized ContextDataFactory and gets the NPE. > 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.
