Description

I just upgraded my web project from log4j 2.0.2 to 2.1, after the upgrade I get the error below.

when I deploy same project under tomcat 7.0 it works fine, so it looks like a compatibility issue between log4j-web-2.1.jar and jboss eac.
problem is fixed when I keep using old log4j-web-2.0.2.jar with other log4j2.1 libraries, any idea ?
also is it safe to use log4j-web-2.0.2.jar with other log4j2.1 libraries till this issue get solved ?

Thanks!
