             Fix For: 2.0-rc1


I am trying to use Regexfilter in RollingFileAppender. For 1st matching 
instance it retreived the logger, but after that I different patttern but 
nothing is logged in the file. Here is what I am using:

Main Class:
public class MainApp {

        /**
         * @param args
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                final Logger logger = 
LogManager.getLogger(MainApp.class.getName());
        
                ApplicationContext context = 
            new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Beans.xml");
                
     HelloWorld obj = (HelloWorld) context.getBean("helloWorld");
     logger.trace("NPF:Trace:Entering Log4j2 Example.");
     logger.debug("NTL:debug Entering Log4j2 Example.");
     obj.getMessage();  
     Company comp = new Company();
     comp.setCompName("ANC");
     comp.setEstablish(1889);
     
     CompanyBusiness compBus =      (CompanyBusiness)context.getBean("compBus");
     compBus.finaceBusiness(comp.getCompName(), comp.getEstablish());
    logger.trace("NTL: Trace: Exiting Log4j2 Example.");
        }}

log4j2.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<Configuration>
        <Appenders>
                <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
                        <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd [%t] HH:mm:ss} 
%-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%X%n" />
                </Console>
                <RollingFile name="RollingFile" 
fileName="C:\logTest\runtime\tla\els3.log"  append="true"
        filePattern="C:\logTest\runtime\tla\els3-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log" >
         <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - 
%m%X%n" />
                <RegexFilter regex=".*business*." onMatch="ACCEPT" 
onMismatch="DENY"/>  
                                <Policies>
                                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="20 MB" />
                        </Policies>
        
    </RollingFile>
                
        </Appenders>
        <Loggers>
                <Logger name="com.anc" level="trace"/>
        
                <Root level="trace"> 
                <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT" /> 
                <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/> 
                </Root>
        
        </Loggers>
</Configuration>

When I ran for the first time, in my logfile I got logs having only "business" 
related line. Latter I changed the patter from ".*business*." to "business", 
logging did not happen in file nor on the console. Also my application 
terminated without anykind of logging.

Then I tried to revert back the pattern to ".*business*.", thereafter no 
logging happened on the log file, but on the console all the log trace is 
printed. When I comment out the Regexfilter after trying for long time, my logs 
was printed in the log file.

I am not sure if this is a bug of Regexfilter works only for one time. Also if 
we do not pass any patter matching characters, the application stops without 
any log printing either on console or file.
