The problem is that the old log4j-1.2.x.jar is still in the classpath. Please remove it from the classpath and ensure the following jars are on the classpath:
log4j-api-2.x.jar
log4j-core-2.x.jar
log4j-1.2-api-2.x.jar - this adapter will route logging calls your application makes to the Log4j2 implementation.
I recommend using the most recent Log4j version for 2.x (2.7 as of this writing).
If you're using slf4j, please remove org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12 (this is for the old Log4j 1) and add org.apache.logging.log4j:slf4j-impl.
