Description

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-user/201607.mbox/%3CCA%2BbB4GeQ0kgah9DZFzv92TAQRwD0hJLgduTWOgzEerzxn5zsYg%40mail.gmail.com%3E

Logback provides logback-access.jar which brings in an implementation for
jetty's RequestLog that generates access logs using logback implementation.

We don't have an equivalent implementation from log4j2. Hence we are left with using the default NCSARequestLog (that comes with jetty and not optimized) or logback-access (that forces using logback when we want to use log4j2 across the stack).

Hence if log4j2 can provide an implementation of jetty's RequestLog, it would help us to use log4j2 in the entire web application (from access log, service logs etc).
