Pablo Rogina commented on LOG4J2-3440:
--------------------------------------
[~pkarwasz] if there are no appenders, the application considers Log4j as no
configured yet and do the configuration via
PropertyConfigurator.configure(someProperties).
I guess I forgot to mention that this "application" is indeed a library, so it
can be used directly by some other program and thus doing its own Log4j
configuration makes sense, but it could be part of other solution involving
other libraries that in turn use it, so at that point doing configuration again
(calling PropertyConfigurator.configure(someProperties) once more) messes up
with existing Log4j configuration (i.e. sets log level ERROR overriding the
actual log level setting from topmost application).

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Log4j 1.2 bridge
> Affects Versions: 2.17.2
> Reporter: Pablo Rogina
> Assignee: Piotr Karwasz
> Priority: Major
>
> Old application using Log4j 1.2.x relies on Logger.getAllAppenders() to
> decide if Log4j it's already configured (returned Enumeration has at least 1
> appender) or not (empty returned Enumeration).
> Some recent code audits mandate to remove log4j v1 component(s) and to
> upgrade to latest 2.17.2 release, so we're using Log4j 1.2 Bridge to comply
> and not to change application code.
> However, we're facing the issue describe here [1] for
> Logger.getRootLogger().getAllAppenders() although with latest Log4j release
> 2.17.2 the issue seems to be that data structure aai is never updated with
> the proper configured appenders, given that now most of the work happens in
> the Log4j v2 Core implementation, thus using LoggerContext
