log4j - log4j-core update

Question

I have updated my log4j version from 1.2.17 to log4j-core-2.17.1, this is for the log4jshell vulnerability fix.

While building the code, I am getting the cannot find PatternLayout and ConsoleAppender error message.

I should not have other any log4j version other than log4j-core-2.17.1 in the war file, so I have excluded lo4j in the slf4j dependency in pom.xml file

Please know how to fix this error.

Code Snippet

import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.ConsoleAppender;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.PatternLayout;

import jxl.common.Logger;

public class Booking {

    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Booking.class);

    public static boolean isChecked(String[] includeProps) {

        logger.info("Start of method");
    return true;

    }

}
