----------------------------------------

             Summary: Log4j2 should not automatically start in Servlet 3.0
                 Key: LOG4J2-452
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-452
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Filters
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
            Reporter: Anthony Communier
            Priority: Critical


When using async servlet (async-supported=true inweb.xml), log4j2 breaks the 
async chain because it does not support async. All element in the chain must 
support async in order to use async. Using Log4j2 in web context lead to be 
unable to use async.

Be aware that async mecanism is more complicated than just intercept the chain 
before and after the handling of the request (thing that could be done in sync 
context). When using async mecanism web container threads can be used when the 
start method is invoked on AsyncContext and there are no way to intercept this 
systematically.

So  I m not sure that it's a good idea to automatically intercept request with 
a filter.
