CentOS - Dec 2019 - log4j12 package in CentOS 8

According to the RHEL docs, package log4j was replaced with package
log4j12 in RHEL 8.0. However, when I attempt to install the package in
CentOS 8, dnf cannot find it.  I have the Base, AppStream, Extras and
PowerTools repos enabled. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

The weird thing is that I can see the package right here in the repo!:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/

What am I misunderstanding?

Well, according to 
https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html#module-command-label 
you are supposed to be able to do:

# dnf module provides log4j12
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

log4j12-1.2.17-22.module+el8+2598+06babf2e.noarch
Module  : javapackages-tools:201801:820181217165704:dca7b4a4:x86_64
Repo    : codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
Summary : Tools and macros for Java packaging support

But on EL8.1 and earlier this only works if the module is already 
enabled, which isn't much help.

So for this package you need to do:

# dnf module enable javapackages-tools
# dnf install log4j12

That worked, thank you Orion! I'm not enjoying modules that much so far.
