Rob Gansevles created LOG4J2-2482:
-------------------------------------
Summary: BasicContextSelector cannot be used in a OSGI application
Key: LOG4J2-2482
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2482
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API, Core
Affects Versions: 2.11.1
Reporter: Rob Gansevles
Using BasicContextSelector does not work when using Log4j in an OSGI
application, see discussion on the mailing list:
[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-user/201810.mbox/%[email protected]%3e]
Basically, the problem is that core-class BasicContextSelector is being loaded
by LoaderUtil class that is living in log4j-api which cannot access classes in
log4j-core.
This is the error that occurs:
{code:java}
ERROR StatusLogger Unable to create custom ContextSelector. Falling back to
default.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.selector.BasicContextSelector cannot be found by
org.apache.logging.log4j.api_2.11.2.SNAPSHOT

A fix for LOG4J2-920 was done with a similar issue in which a dependency from
log4j-api to log4j-core was created in the manifest file.
As discussed on the mailing list, I will file a pull request that allows
BasicContextSelector to work in an OSGI setup and removes the unwanted
dependency again.
