WildFly itself does not support it. However, you're free to use log4j2 in your deployment. You could see odd results if you use things like a ConsoleAppender though.

Hi All,

I followed the docs to configure my own version of log4j2, but I am getting the below error. Can someone please help me to resolve this?

ERROR [org.jboss.logmanager.log4j.status] (Server Initialization) LogManager returned an instance of org.jboss.logmanager.log4j.JBossLoggerContextFactory which does not implement org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.Log4jContextFactory. Unable to initialize Log4j.

Thanks in advance

You likely need exclude the org.apache.logging.log4j module and org.jboss.logmanager.log4j2 from your deployment. See https://docs.wildfly.org/22/Admin_Guide.html#how-do-i-log4j2.
