I was trying to use log4j2 HttpAppender, but I get this error:

ERROR Unable to invoke factory method in class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.HttpAppender for element Http: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No factory method found for class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.HttpAppender java.lang.IllegalStateException: No factory method found for class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.HttpAppender

This is my log4j2.xml configuration:

<Configuration>
    <Appenders>
        <Http name="HTTP" url="http://localhost:8055/log" verifyHostname="false" method="POST"/>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="INFO">
            <AppenderRef ref="HTTP"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

And these are some of the dependencies in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>

I also checked the classes in my target folder and the class public final class HttpAppender extends AbstractAppender is present.

So, is my configuration wrong or what?

I also looked into this question, but my version of log4j2 is well above 2.7.
