          <subsection name="Using the Log4j 1.x bridge">
            <p>
              Perhaps the simplest way to convert to using Log4j 2 is to replace the log4j 1.x jar file with
              Log4j 2's <code>log4j-1.2-api.jar</code>. However, to use this successfully applications must meet the
              following requirements:
            </p>
              <ol>
                <li>They must not access methods and classes internal to the Log4j 1.x implementation such
                  as <code>Appender</code>s, <code>LoggerRepository</code> or <code>Category</code>'s
                  <code>callAppenders</code> method.</li>
                <li>They must not programmatically configure Log4j.</li>
                <li>They must not configure by calling the classes <code>DOMConfigurator</code> or
                  <code>PropertyConfigurator</code>.</li>
              </ol>
          </subsection>
          <subsection name="Converting to the Log4j 2 API">
            <p>For the most part, converting from the Log4j 1.x API to Log4j 2 should be fairly simple. Many
              of the log statements will require no modification. However, where necessary the following changes must be
              made.</p>
              <ol>
                <li>
                  The main package in version 1 is <code>org.apache.log4j</code>, in version 2 it is
                  <code>org.apache.logging.log4j</code>
                </li>
                <li>
                  Calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger()</code> must be modified to
                  <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getLogger()</code>.
                </li>
                <li>
                  Calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.Logger.getRootLogger()</code> or
                  <code>org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getRootLogger()</code> must be replaced with
                  <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getRootLogger()</code>.</li>
                <li>
                  Calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger</code> that accept a <code>LoggerFactory</code> must
                  remove the <code>org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggerFactory</code> and use one of Log4j 2's other extension
                  mechanisms.
                </li>
                <li>
                  Replace calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.Logger.getEffectiveLevel()</code> with
                  <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger.getLevel()</code>.
                </li>
                <li>
                  Remove calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.LogManager.shutdown()</code>, they are not needed in version 2
                  because the Log4j Core now automatically adds a JVM shutdown hook on start up to perform any Core
                  clean ups.
                </li>
                <li>
                  Calls to <code>org.apache.log4j.Logger.setLevel()</code> or similar methods are not supported in the API.
                  Applications should remove these. Equivalent functionality is provided in the Log4j 2 implementation
                  classes, see <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator.setLevel()</code>, but may leave 
                  the application susceptible to changes in Log4j 2 internals.                   
                </li>
                <li>
                  Where appropriate, applications should convert to use parameterized messages instead of String
                  concatenation.

            <p>
              Although the Log4j 2 configuration syntax is different than that of Log4j 1.x, most, if not all, of
              the same functionality is available. Below are the example configurations for Log4j 1.x and their
              counterparts in Log4j 2.
