Here my solution to the same problem:

web.xml

    
        isLog4jContextSelectorNamed
        false
    

    

LoggerHelper.java

    import java.io.File;
    import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
    import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext;
    import org.slf4j.Logger;
    import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

    public final class LoggerHelper {

      public static Logger INSTANCE;

      public static void initialize() {    
        String        fileName = "/log4j.xml";
        LoggerContext context  = (LoggerContext)LogManager.getContext(false);

        context.setConfigLocation(new File(fileName).toURI());
        INSTANCE = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerHelper.class);

        String logMessage = String.format("Initialized (%s).", fileName);
        System.out.println(logMessage);
        INSTANCE.info(logMessage);
      }

    }
