Description

While debugging my log4j2.0 configuration in web application, I have observed that the LoggerContext.start() is called twice once without parameter and next with Configuration parameters.
Following are stack paths to these calls.

1st path:

LoggerContext.start() line: 145
Log4jContextFactory.getContext(String, ClassLoader, boolean, URI) line: 104
Log4jContextFactory.getContext(String, ClassLoader, boolean, URI) line: 34
LogManager.getContext(ClassLoader, boolean, URI) line: 187
Configurator.initialize(String, ClassLoader, URI, Object) line: 103
Configurator.initialize(String, ClassLoader, String, Object) line: 63
Log4jWebInitializerImpl.initializeNonJndi(String) line: 136
Log4jWebInitializerImpl.initialize() line: 82

2nd Path:

LoggerContext.start(Configuration) line: 175
Configurator.initialize(String, ClassLoader, URI, Object) line: 111
Configurator.initialize(String, ClassLoader, String, Object) line: 63
Log4jWebInitializerImpl.initializeNonJndi(String) line: 136
Log4jWebInitializerImpl.initialize() line: 82

During first path, it is basically calling reconfigure.
