<a name="Log4j1.2Bridge"></a>
<section>
<h3><a name="Using_the_Log4j_1.x_bridge"></a>Using the Log4j 1.x bridge</h3>
<p>
Perhaps the simplest way to convert to using Log4j 2 is to replace the log4j 1.x jar file with
Log4j 2's log4j-1.2-api.jar. However, to use this successfully applications must meet the
following requirements:
</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>They must not access methods and classes internal to the Log4j 1.x implementation such
as Appenders, LoggerRepository or Category's
callAppenders method.</li>
<li>They must not programmatically configure Log4j.</li>
<li>They must not configure by calling the classes DOMConfigurator or
PropertyConfigurator.</li>
</ol>
</section>
<section>
<h3><a name="Converting_to_the_Log4j_2_API"></a>Converting to the Log4j 2 API</h3>
<p>For the most part, converting from the Log4j 1.x API to Log4j 2 should be fairly simple. Many
of the log statements will require no modification. However, where necessary the following changes must be
made.</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>
The main package in version 1 is org.apache.log4j, in version 2 it is
org.apache.logging.log4j
</li>
<li>
Calls to org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger() must be modified to
org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getLogger().
</li>
<li>
Calls to org.apache.log4j.Logger.getRootLogger() or
org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getRootLogger() must be replaced with
org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getRootLogger().</li>
<li>
Calls to org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger that accept a LoggerFactory must
remove the org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggerFactory and use one of Log4j 2's other extension
mechanisms.
</li>
<li>
Replace calls to org.apache.log4j.Logger.getEffectiveLevel() with
org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger.getLevel().
</li>
<li>
Remove calls to org.apache.log4j.LogManager.shutdown(), they are not needed in version 2
because the Log4j Core now automatically adds a JVM shutdown hook on start up to perform any Core
clean ups.
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>
Starting in Log4j 2.1, you can specify a custom
<a href="../log4j-core/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/ShutdownCallbackRegistry.html" class="javadoc">ShutdownCallbackRegistry</a>
to override the default JVM shutdown hook strategy.
</li>
<li>
Starting in Log4j 2.6, you can now use org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.shutdown()
to initiate shutdown manually.
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Calls to org.apache.log4j.Logger.setLevel() or similar methods are not supported in the API.
Applications should remove these. Equivalent functionality is provided in the Log4j 2 implementation
classes, see org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator.setLevel(), but may leave
the application susceptible to changes in Log4j 2 internals.
</li>
<li>
Where appropriate, applications should convert to use parameterized messages instead of String
concatenation.
</li>
<li>
<a class="externalLink" href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/MDC.html">org.apache.log4j.MDC</a> and
<a class="externalLink" href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/NDC.html">org.apache.log4j.NDC</a>
have been replaced by the <a href="thread-context.html">Thread Context</a>.

<h3><a name="Configuring_Log4j_2"></a>Configuring Log4j 2</h3>
<p>
Although the Log4j 2 configuration syntax is different than that of Log4j 1.x, most, if not all, of
the same functionality is available.
</p>
<p>
Note that system property interpolation via the ${foo} syntax has been extended to allow
property lookups from many different sources. See the <a href="lookups.html">Lookups</a> documentation
for more details. For example, using a lookup for the system property named catalina.base,
in Log4j 1.x, the syntax would be ${catalina.base}. In Log4j 2, the syntax would be
${sys:catalina.base}.
</p>
<p>
Log4j 1.x has a XMLLayout which is different from the XmlLayout in Log4j 2, the log4j-1.2-api module
contains a Log4j1XmlLayout which produce output in the format as in Log4j 1.x.
The Log4j 1.x SimpleLayout can be emulated with PatternLayout &quot;%level - %m%n&quot;.
The Log4j 1.x TTCCLayout can be emulated with PatternLayout &quot;%r [%t] %p %c %notEmpty{%ndc }- %m%n&quot;.
</p>
<p>
Both PatternLayout and EnhancedPatternLayout in Log4j 1.x can be replaced with
PatternLayout in Log4j 2. The log4j-1.2-api module contains two pattern conversions &quot;%ndc&quot; and &quot;%properties&quot; which
can be used to emulate &quot;%x&quot; and &quot;%X&quot; in Log4j 1.x PatternLayout (&quot;%x&quot; and %X&quot; in Log4j 2 have a slightly different format).
</p>
<p>
Below are the example configurations for Log4j 1.x and their counterparts in Log4j 2.
