@robert-gdv, Thank you for your report. Actually the key used for a layout can be **arbitrary** (e.g. `!@#$%^&*()`) as long as it does not contain a dot `.` character. When binding configuration values to JavaBean properties, Log4j: * binds simple properties (`int`, `String`, etc.) **by name**. Therefore you **need** to use the `target` key to specify the target of a console appender, * binds complex properties **by type**. That is why `appender.console.!@#$%^&*().type = JsonTemplateLayout` will work without any problems. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
