Log4j2 error on load XML configuration file

I'm trying to use an XML configuration file for Log4j2 that is embedded in
my Java application, but is not working.

The code:

    ConfigurationSource source = new ConfigurationSource(Main.
class.getResourceAsStream("/in/gunbound/prelauncher/server/log4j2/log4j2.xml"));
    ConfigurationFactory factory = (ConfigurationFactory)
XMLConfigurationFactory.getInstance().getConfiguration(source);
    ConfigurationFactory.setConfigurationFactory(factory);

The error:

> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.XMLConfiguration cannot be cast
> to org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.ConfigurationFactory     at
> in.gunbound.prelauncher.server.Main.main(Main.java:62)

Can anyone help me please?

Note. The xml file is within my JAR, ie, I created a package to store it
because I do not want the settings file log4j2 is exposed to the user.

Atenciosamente,
