Sumit Singhal updated LOG4J2-1502:
----------------------------------
Description:
I am using CsvParameterLayout to generate a CSV file out of log4j2. One of the
column is a JSON string. Following is the logger method I am using:
{code:java}
logger.info("log:{}",json);
{code}
Following is the JSON string:
{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}
And following is the string which is getting printed in CSV output file:
NUL{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}NUL
The NUL character is the \x00 character. When I open the file in notepad++,
then only this character appears. In notepad it shows as space. This poses a
problem in CSV processing module.
If there is some alphabet before {, then the output in CSV is fine. It seems as
if log4j is escaping '{' with a NUL character. It is happening if the string
starts with {, (, [, ' or ".
Following are the dependencies:
{code:xml}
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.6.2</version>
</dependency>
