Description
It seems log4j was upgraded to log4j2 in #1367 for play 1.7.0
So any application using oldstyle log4j.properties will/did now stop producing logfiles.
It is not clear from docu or anywhere else how to configure log4j2.
Adding a basic log4j2.xml in conf/ folder had no effect.
Maybe a change in application.conf is required? Or adding a dependency.yml entry?
May I ask you to please add a most basic working log4j2 setup to any of the projects under samples-and-tests ?

Research direction
Start by reviewing upgrade #1367 and the projects under samples-and-tests, then inspect how conf/, application.conf, and dependency.yml are used. Add a basic working log4j2.xml configuration to a sample project so it produces logfiles, and verify the setup against the issue's configuration concern.
