I'm using the pcap4j library in my application and when I run it I get:



log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.pcap4j.core.NativeMappings).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.


I also use log4j in my application:



<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.11.1</version>
</dependency>


which is configured in main/resources/log4j2-test.properties:



log4j.rootLogger=INFO, fileLogger
log4j.appender.fileLogger.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileLogger.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.fileLogger.File=application.log
log4j.appender.fileLogger=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileLogger.datePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm


So the configuration file is there and whatever I change in it it has an effect which means log4j sees it and it works, so I'm quite helpless when I read everywhere that this kind of warning is caused by a missing or wrong config file.



Can it be that the error is in the dependency and I can't do anything about it? If so, is there a way to disable the logging in this dependency completely? Actually this is that I would want in the first place anyway.

That message is from log4j 1, whereas you are using log4j2, therefore it is harmless.



https://github.com/apache/log4j/blob/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/Hierarchy.java



  public
void emitNoAppenderWarning(Category cat) {
// No appenders in hierarchy, warn user only once.
if(!this.emittedNoAppenderWarning) {
LogLog.warn("No appenders could be found for logger (" +

Off topic, sorry :)



You can manually set the log config file using this :



org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.configure("<path>log4j2-test.properties");


The <path> can either be absolute or relative to the root of your maven module.

You can manually set the log config file using this :



org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.configure("<path>log4j2-test.properties");


The <path> can either be absolute or relative to the root of your maven module.
