Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-255: ------------------------------------ FWIW - Log4j 1.x uses a WriterAppender as the base for most String based appenders that write to an OutputStream. You specify the charset on the Appender and the OutputStreamWriter is passed the encoding. It will convert the Strings it is passed into the target charset. Log4j 2 just moves the encoding into the Layouts so that Appenders can handle any kind of data. > Multi-byte character strings are scrambled in log output > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-255 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-255 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appenders, Core > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta6 > Reporter: Remko Popma > Assignee: Remko Popma > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0-beta7 > > > When I tried to log a Japanese string the output was scrambled in both the > Console and a log file. > For example, > logger.warn("日本語テスト"); // (Japanese test) > came out as > 15:07:00.184 [main] WARN test.JapaneseTest - 譌・譛ャ隱槭ユ繧ケ繝? > This is the log4j2.xml configuration: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <configuration status="warn"> > <appenders> > <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT"> > <PatternLayout> > <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n > </pattern> > </PatternLayout> > </Console> > <File name="tracelog" fileName="trace-log.txt" immediateFlush="true" > append="false"> > <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level > %logger{36} - %msg%n"/> > </File> > </appenders> > > <loggers> > <root level="trace"> > <appender-ref ref="Console"/> > <appender-ref ref="tracelog"/> > </root> > </loggers> > </configuration> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
