Summary: NoClassDefFoundError initializing PropertiesUtil in Servlet 2.5 container Key: LOG4J2-3624 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3624 Project: Log4j 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: API Affects Versions: 2.18.0 Environment: Apache Tomcat/8.53 Linux 4.14.1294-220.533.amzn2 amd64 JVM 1.8.0_3420-b07, Red Hat. Inc Reporter: Nicholas Sushkin The configuration I have in Tomcat 8 and Java 1.8 with the Servlet 2.5 style initialization works in 2.17.2, but breaks in 2.18.0 (and 2.19.0) with the following exception: {noformat} [localhost-startStop-1] Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.logging.log4j.web.Log4jServletContextListener java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.logging.log4j.util.PropertiesUtil at org.apache.logging.log4j.status.StatusLogger.<clinit>(StatusLogger.java:78) at org.apache.logging.log4j.web.Log4jServletContextListener.<clinit>(Log4jServletContextListener.java:44) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) … at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:4822) … {noformat} With log4j 2.17.2, there is no exception and {{Log4jServletFilter}} initializes fine. I traced class loading during the web application initialization. With 2.18.0, the following classes are loaded: * log4j.web.Log4jServletContainerInitializer log4j-web-2.18.0.jar * log4j.Logger log4j-api-2.18.0.jar * log4j.web.Log4jServletContextListener log4j-api-2.18.0.jar * log4j.web.Log4jWebSupport log4j-web-2.18.0.jar * log4j.core.LifeCycle log4j-core-2.18.0.jar * log4j.web.Log4jWebLifeCycle log4j-web-2.18.0.jar * com.ofc.data.server.MyBatisConfiguratingContextListener from classes * com.ofc.data.server.CleanupContextListener from classes * log4j.web.Log4jServletFilter log4j-web-2.18.0.jar * … other classes * log4j.spi.ExtendedLogger * log4j… * log4j.message.ParameterizedMessageFactory * log4j.util.Constants * log4j.util.PropertiesUtil * log4j.util.PropertySource * … * log4j.PropertySource$Comparator * log4j.util.BiConsumer * log4j.util.PropertiesUtil$Environment(Lambda)… * log4j.util.ServiceLoaderUtil * log4j.util.ServiceLoaderUtil.$ServiceLoaderSpliterator * java.util.ServiceConfigurationError !http://localhost:1313/ox-hugo/workspaces_EoJKh3w7hm_2022-10-27_15-56-03.png! With 2.17.2, it goes like this: * log4j.web.Log4jServletContainerInitializer log4j-web-2.17.2.jar * log4j.Logger log4j-api-2.17.2.jar * log4j.web.Log4jServletContextListener log4j-api-2.17.2.jar * log4j.web.Log4jWebSupport log4j-web-2.17.2.jar * log4j.core.LifeCycle log4j-core-2.17.2.jar * log4j.web.Log4jWebLifeCycle log4j-web-2.17.2.jar * com.ofc.data.server.MyBatisConfiguratingContextListener from classes * com.ofc.data.server.CleanupContextListener from classes * log4j.web.Log4jServletFilter log4j-web-2.17.2.jar * … other classes * org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.Validator * log4j.spi.ExtendedLogger * log4j… * log4j.message.ParameterizedMessageFactory * log4j.util.Constants * log4j.util.PropertiesUtil * log4j.util.PropertySource * … * log4j.PropertySource$Comparator * log4j.util.BiConsumer * log4j.util.PropertiesUtil$Environment\(Lambda\)… * java.lang.invoke.LambdaForm$… * log4j.util.EnvironmentPropertySource * log4j.util.SystemPropertiesPropertySource * log4j.util.PropertiesUtil.$Environment$$Lambda !http://localhost:1313/ox-hugo/workspaces_vBkgFs3RKy_2022-10-27_15-50-13.png! In 2.8.0, log4j.util.PropertiesUtil.$Environment$$Lambda is loaded but not invoked. It looks like there are recent changes in log4j.util.PropertiesUtil.$Environment in commits aaf13561e7 Piotr Karwasz 2022-03-10, 262828b193 2022-04-13.
