First of all you can try to include configuration for both log4j versions in your app. logj42 config for the app itself and log4j1 config for the app server. If this does not give you desired results you could still use log4j1 as log-implementation for the app and forward both APIs (log4j2-api and slf4j-api) to log4j1. To achieve that you would need log4j-slf4j-impl. Your logging pipeline would look like this then: log4j-api (v2) --> log4j-slf4j-impl --> slf4j-api --> slf4j-log4j12 --> log4j (v1) Keep in mind that log4j1 has been deprecated. It is likely that old app servers contain other outdated libraries as well which might cause e.g. security issues. You should consider upgrading your app server. But of course that can take some time.
