Log4j2 not looking for log4j.properties even with the system property set

+2

I am migrating an application from Log4j1 to Log4j2 using the API bridge jar. All references to the log4j1.jar have already been removed.

I set the system property in Websphere as a JVM argument -Dlog4j1.compatibility=true, but when I watch the debug output from log4j2 it is not actually looking for "log4j.xml" or "log4j.properties". It does look for the log4j2 configuration files.

What else do I need to do to get it to look for the old configuration files?

I had been using log4j2.12.4 jars. When I switched to log4j2.20.0 jars, log4j2 correctly searched for and found the log4j configuration file.
