My team has elected me to upgrade Tomcat from 7.X to 8.5.5+ on our very
old and very large web application.
Under Tomcat 7.x, this application uses the tomcat-juli-adapters to replace
JULI with log4j1.16. Worked like a charm for years.
Under Tomcat 8.5.5, I'm getting exceptions such as:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/juli/WebappProperties
Googling this led me to the discovery that log4j1.x support via
tomcat-juli-adapters was
discontinued in Tomcat 8.5, as described here:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58588
My understanding is that JULI can be replaced by log4j2 without the
adapters,
but I cannot find a description on how to do this.
Can anyone describe to me how this is done?
It is no longer covered in the user documentation as it was on earlier
versions:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/logging.html
Thanks,
Bill
