Answer 1

To get around a similar issue with Spring Boot I added

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
</dependency>   

to my POM

Answer 2

This dependency help to avoid this error from lambda.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-to-slf4j</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.2</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

Solved the error message by setting the system property for log4j2 configuration file. below is the below code.

System.setProperty("log4j.configurationFile","./path_to_the_log4j2_config_file/log4j2.xml");

Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(LogExample.class.getName());
