How to use LoggingEvent class with log4j 2.2

Question

I want to migrate from Log4j 1.x to Log4j 2.x. So I'm trying to use log4j-1.2-api.jar as mentioned here. My application has an implementation of org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent, but I cannot find a way to use LoggingEvent with the log4j 2.x api bridge. Is there anyway that I can use LoggingEvent with log4j 2.2 ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

When upgrading Log4j, I simply used LogEvent instead of LoggingEvent.

I had removed AppenderSkeleton and replaced it with AbstractAppender. AppenderSkeleton's append(LoggingEvent event) method appears in AbstractAppender as append(LogEvent event), which was my cue to use LogEvent instead of LoggingEvent.
