[jira] [Created] (LOG4J2-2978) Migrate to Jakarta APIs

Boris Petrov created LOG4J2-2978:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Migrate to Jakarta APIs
                 Key: LOG4J2-2978
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2978
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Dependency upgrade
          Components: Web/Servlet
    Affects Versions: 2.14.0
            Reporter: Boris Petrov


Jakarta EE 9 is out already along with stable versions of the two most popular containers - Tomcat 10 and Jetty 11 (running on Servlet 5.0). `log4j-web` internally still uses `javax` (e.g. [here|https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/rel/2.14.0/log4j-web/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/web/Log4jServletContainerInitializer.java#L21]) so it is incompatible with an application that runs on these two containers. It would be nice to release a new version that is compatible with them. Unfortunately a single version cannot be made compatible with both the "old" `javax` and the "new" `jakarta` namespaces so perhaps a new major one should be released.
