Rémi C. commented on LOG4J2-2721: --------------------------------- Since you are writing Log4j 3 at the current time and that it would be a major version, could we include this fix in Log4j 3? People are to expect major change from 2 to 3 and this one would be greatly appreciated. As reported by Scott, it should behave like the MapMessage. > Thread crash when parameter is a null value for StringMapMessage > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-2721 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2721 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API > Affects Versions: 2.12.1 > Reporter: Rémi C. > Priority: Major > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > {code:java} > logger.info(myMarker, new StringMapMessage() > .with("message", "Test message") > .with("event.action", null) > .with("event.category", "General"));{code} > This will crash.
