Markus Jung created TOMEE-4390:
----------------------------------

             Summary: ClassNotFoundException in webapp that has log4j2 and invokes commons-logging
                 Key: TOMEE-4390
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-4390
             Project: TomEE
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: TomEE Core Server
    Affects Versions: 10.0.0-M2
            Reporter: Markus Jung
         Attachments: log4j2-commons-logging.zip

Accessing commons-logging throws an exception when it is being invoked in an application that has a log4j2 dependency but no commons-logging dependency

The layout is basically:
 * tomee
 ** libs/
 *** commons-logging.jar
 ** webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/libs
 *** log4j2-api/core.jar

 

This causes the following to happen:
 # commons-logging checks the current thread classloader for a log4j2 class
 # if it finds one, it creates an instance of Log4jApiLogFactory
 # while doing so, java tries to load the class org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.LoggerAdapter using the classloader that loaded commons-logging.jar
 # ClassNotFoundException with a very incomprehensible stacktrace

 

See attached reproducer, simply run mvn package tomee:run
