I have configure a war that works as expected when deployed, displaying the expected "Greetings" in my browser. I then added slf4j+log4j2 by following tutorials with much trial and error. When I use my logger I get my log message formatted as I have instructed in my log4j2.xml file so I know things in general are working. However, I am getting two entries in my wildfly console that look like this...

14:44:13,104 INFO  [com.ham.bone.GreetingController] (default task-11) Test Logging!

[2016-11-01 14:44:13.104] boot - 7564  INFO [default task-11] --- GreetingController: Test Logging!

Obviously the first line of logging is my own class but the second is not. I am assuming it is coming from spring-boot-starter. How do I disable it?

Configuration:

I have made no modifications to standalone.xml

Spring Controller

@RestController
public class GreetingController {

 

   private static final String template = "Hello, %s!";
  private final AtomicLong counter = new AtomicLong();
  protected final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GreetingController.class);

   @RequestMapping("/greeting")

   public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value="name", defaultValue="World") String name) {

   logger.info("Test Logging!");

  return new Greeting(counter.incrementAndGet(),
   String.format(template, name));
   }

}

What have I missed?

P.S

Thank you!
