I am using a third-party API which internally uses a custom logger based on log4j. Replacing the log4j with log4j-over-slf4j doesn't help as one of the method is not present in the log4j-over-slf4j.

Can't share much of the trace as data sharing policy:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Logger.getParent()Lorg/apache/log4j/Category;

Verified the same in codebase of log4j-over-slf4j and this method getParent() is not present in the jar.

Whereas for log4j v 1.2.17, this is present.

public final Category getParent()
