Gili commented on LOG4J2-1038:
------------------------------
My use-case involved PatternLayout. Looking now, I see that the documentation
correctly states that the system charset is used but man... that is confusing!
I assume that whatever the default was, it would be consistent across all
layouts.
# Why is the default not UTF-8 across all layouts? This seems like a saner
default.
# Why doesn't log4j2 encourage users to specify an explicit charset by warning
that the configured charset is unportable?
> Incorrect documentation for layout default charset

> Key: LOG4J2-1038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1038
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, Layouts
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Gili
>
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-255 states that the default
> charset is the system default (a fact I confirmed by running local tests).
> http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html incorrectly states
> that the default charset is UTF-8.
> Please update the documentation to state that the default is the system
> default and strongly recommend (in bold) that the user sets an explicit
> charset.
