How can I use log4j 2 if there are both log4j and log4j 2 jars
included in classpath?
We have a web project want to use log4j 2 for logging.
But after I add
- log4j-api-2.x.jar
- log4j-core-2.x.jar
to WEB-INF/lib, and add log4j2.xml to WEB-INF/classes, log4j 2 not work.
I finally found out that there is a jar named activemq-all.jar under
WEB-INF/lib, and it have classes of log4j (v1) and slf4j inside it.
Since I cannot delete activemq-all.jar, so how can I use log4j 2 for
logging while both log4j and log4j 2 classes are in the classpath?
Thanks.

Instead of activemq-all, use only the parts from activemq that you need (
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.activemq).

Hi Matt,
I think I have to replace activemq-all.jar with several nessesry jars,
because there are log4j v1 implementation in it, I found out it will try to
load log4j.properties(or xml) even after I add log4j2 binding for log4j v1:
log4j-1.2-api-2.x.jar in the classpath.
Bests.

Posted by Matt Sicker <bo...@gmail.com>.
I think that would depend on the servlet container you're using. I don't
think there's a standard way to rearrange lib/ entries in a WAR file, so
I'm assuming it'd be an extension. Another option might be to rename the
activemq-all.jar file to something like z-activemq-all.jar so it comes last
alphabetically? It's really implementation-dependent here. If you modify
your build scripts, you could also unpack the activemq jar, remove log4j
1.x classes, then repackage them.

The best workaround in your scenario definitely sounds like rearranging the
classpath with log4j2 first.

I dont like dependency on uber jar, also.
It's a old project that dont even using any build tools like maven.
I think I should refactoring it step by step, include replace the activemq
uber jar with several necessary jars.
Thank u all for ur response.

You can also put all the Log4j 2 jars FIRST on the classpath.

To be frank, uber jars like this that include other people’s stuff are a terrible idea for exactly this reason. See http://activemq.apache.org/initial-configuration.html <http://activemq.apache.org/initial-configuration.html>. It itemizes all the jars that are rolled into the uber jar. You need to just use the individual dependencies you need.
