Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-223: ------------------------------------ The web.xml in the sample application doesn't have the Log4jContextListener registered. If it did the LoggerContext would have been unregistered when the webapp was undeployed, the shutdown hook would have been removed, and the above error would not have occurred. It is hard to imagine what at line 170 could be causing the NPE, but I would guess that the NullPointerException that Remko got above is because the webapp has already been undeployed and the StatusLogger class isn't there any more. If they had been deployed to the Tomcat class loader instead of the webapp classloader then I suspect this error would not have occurred. Removing the shutdown hook is not an appropriate solution. The configuration really needs to be shutdown when the web app is undeployed or when the server is shutdown, depending on where the log4j jars are placed, to clean up all the resources. > IllegalStateException thrown during Tomcat shutdown > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-223 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-223 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5 > Reporter: Ralph Goers > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0-beta7 > > Attachments: log4j-223.war > > > {noformat}Apr 25, 2013 3:03:33 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer > await > INFO: A valid shutdown command was received via the shutdown port.
