Description

I created trivial servlet 3.0 based web application that uses apache commons logging. But it does not log, file is created, but it is empty. I added LOG4J2 logger as well and it works.

I have following jars in WEB-INF/lib:

commons-logging-1.1.3.jar json-smart-1.1.1.jar log4j-api-2.0-rc1.jar log4j-core-2.0-rc1.jar log4j-jcl-2.0-rc1.jar

I can see following info in WF logs:

22:48:01,336 INFO [io.undertow.servlet] (MSC service thread 1-11) Log4jServletContainerInitializer starting up Log4j in Servlet 3.0+ environment.
22:48:01,688 INFO [io.undertow.servlet] (MSC service thread 1-11) No Log4j context configuration provided. This is very unusual.
22:48:01,702 INFO [io.undertow.servlet] (MSC service thread 1-11) Log4jServletContextListener ensuring that Log4j starts up properly.

Complete application with sources is attached. You need to adjust log location for your environment.
