Getting Exception org.apache.logging.slf4j.SLF4JLoggerContext cannot be cast to org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext

Question

My code is very simple using apache-log4j-2.0.2:

import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class Log4jtest {
  stati         


        

Answer 1

Remove below jar's from class path and it should fix the issue -

log4j-to-slf4j-2.0.2.jar
log4j-to-slf4j-2.0.2-sources.jar
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.2.jar
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.2-sources.jar

I was able to replicate and fix the issue after downloading apache-log4j-2.0.2 from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/logging/log4j/2.0.2/apache-log4j-2.0.2-bin.zip.
