Logging with log4j2 in Spring Boot Application
I am trying to learn Spring Boot. But I am completely confused with the log dependencies. I have a simple pom:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- Logging -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I created log4j2.xml in..src \ main \ resources \
I am writing something like this:
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);
LOG.error("ERRRRRRR!!!!");
But when the app starts, I see:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/Users/me/.m2/repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/1.1.3/logback-classic-1.1.3.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/Users/me/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-slf4j-impl/2.3/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.3.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextSelectorStaticBinder]
And of course log4j2 and its config don't work.
I know this is a very popular question. I have searched for many answers, but nothing works for me.

You should exclude the log that comes bundled with spring-boot-starter-batch and replace it with spring-boot-starter-log4j2. Check out the documentation for Logging and Spring Boot.
This pom config works well for me.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-batch</artifactId>
<version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
<version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
