-------------------------------------
Assignee: Piotr Karwasz
> Bridge with log4j2 and log4j configuration cannot load custom appender class
> due to using lower case key name
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3499
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3499
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.17.2
> Reporter: Xitiz Bhatia
> Assignee: Piotr Karwasz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: bridge, log4j-to-log4j2-bridge, log4j2
>
> Using log4j 1.x to log4j2 bridge with log4j2 2.17.2 and log4j properties, the
> customer appender that was working in log4j stops working. Upon enabling
> log4j debug logging, the message shown when processing the appender is:
> WARN StatusLogger Unable to load plugin class name org.abc.logging.AppAuditor
> with key org.abc.logging.appauditor
>
> It is trying to load the custom appender class as a plugin using the fully
> qualified class name in lower case. It is unable to locate the class. The
> system property log4j.plugin.packages was added to specify the package name
> where the custom appender class is located.
>
> Environment information:
> The log4j.properties file from log 4j 1.x has these entries for this custome
> appender:
> log4j.logger.AppAuditing = _AUDIT_LOG
> log4j.appender._AUDIT_LOG=org.abc.logging.AppAuditor
>
> The custom appender class org.abc.logging.AppAuditor extends from
> AppenderSkeleton and implements the custom append method.
>
> The client class using the custom appender:
> Logger log = Logger.getLogger("AppAuditing");
> log.info(message);
>
> No other changes were made to log4j.properties used with log4j 1.x and all
> steps were completed for log4j 1.x to log4j2 bridge migration. All other
> logging works as expected with the bridge except the custom appender. This
> custom appender AppAuditor also works without any issues in log4j 1.x.
