Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1142:
-------------------------------------

In the second case I am assuming that you then have to check for null, create a 
StringBuilder and add it to the ThreadLocal yourself then?  I'm sort of 
surprised that that wouldn't also trigger the warning as I am assuming it is 
checking for ThreadLocals that still have objects being referenced.

> ThreadLocals in Layout implementations should be non-static to prevent memory 
> leaks in web containers

> As discussed in LOG4J2-1125, storing ThreadLocal<StringBuilder> in a static 
> field may not interact well with the thread pools and class loaders of some 
> web containers and may result in memory leaks, especially in older web 
> containers.
