Below is something interesting that Mark Thomas (current Tomcat maintainer) has
to say about Tomcat and Log4J/2:

Thanks for your reply Cris. The note from Mark is interesting.
However, I couldn't find any instructions on how to get Log4J2 working
natively, i.e., without the 1.x -> 2.x Bridge. The Tomcat documentation hasn't
been updated either.
I'd be happy to test out Log4J2 native logging in Tomcat as well as document
the same, if someone can point me to how to set this up.
Thanks,Ankit
