Description Marián Konček 2022-10-20 08:38:14 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2123349

I am copying this bug because: 
Different product


User explanation about the existing RollingFileAppender class in log4j-2.17.1,
and need for log4j-2.17.2 is that log4j-2.17.1-4 also has RollingFileAppender
in log4j-core module (org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender) but package
hierarchy is not same as org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender.

We require the RollingFileAppender from Bridge API i.e.,
"log4j-1.2-api-2.17.1.jar" module with package structure
org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender, which will take lesser efforts and time
and thus will help in easier migration from Log4j 1.x to Log4j 2.x.

The class org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender is available in latest
"log4j-1.2-api-2.17.2.jar" which will help to resolve the issue we are facing.
