If this happens to be a project built with Maven then 'mvn dependency:tree' should tell you which artifacts are pulling in SLF4J. You may need to run this more than once as you comb out transitive dependencies one by one. But it's possible to use multiple logging frameworks in one webapp. if you include/exclude the right artifacts. See https://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html if you need to do this with SLF4J and Log4J v1. -- Mark H.
