Eric Everman commented on LOG4J2-3198:
--------------------------------------

Is there any possible configuration where the text of substituted parameters 
are substituted?  For instance:
{code:java}
logger.debug("User entered '{}', which is invalid", 
request.getParameter());{code}
and 'request.getParameter()' returns something like:
{code:java}
${jndi:ldap://127.0.0.1:1389/a}{code}
??

> Message lookups should be disabled by default

> Lookups in messages are confusing, and muddy the line between logging APIs 
> and implementation. Given a particular API, there's an expectation that a 
> particular shape of call will result in specific results. However, lookups in 
> messages can be passed into JUL and will result in resolved output in log4j 
> formatted output, but not any other implementations despite no direct 
> dependency on those implementations.
> There's also a cost to searching formatted message strings for particular 
> escape sequences which define lookups. This feature is not used as far as 
> we've been able to tell searching github and stackoverflow, so it's 
> unnecessary for every log event in every application to burn several cpu 
> cycles searching for the value.
