Description

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
