Cannot output log with apache httpComponent and log4j2

Question

I want output in the console the request sent by httpComponent from Apache. I tried several config in my log4j2.xml but never I got something related to http in the console. I only see my log app.

Here my log4j2.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <!--PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/-->
            <PatternLayout pattern="* %msg%n"/>
        </Console>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="debug">
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Root>

        <logger name="org.apache.http" level="debug"/>
        <logger name="org.apache.wire" level="debug"/>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

Here my small code

public ApiResponse<DealDiscovery> execute() throws IOException {
        HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
        URI uri = null;
        try {
            uri = new URIBuilder(BASE_URL).addParameter(TOKEN, token).build();
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            //Should never happened
        }
        HttpGet http = new HttpGet(uri);
        HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(http);
        String response = EntityUtils.toString(httpResponse.getEntity());
        return parseResponse(response);
    }

I'm missing something?

Answer 1

The answer is copied from here: Enable debug logging for Log4J2 + Apache HttpClient You need to add the following dependency in pom.xml

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-1.2-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

The reason for this HttpClient uses old log4j 1.2 api: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/maven-artifacts.html
