Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1013: -------------------------------------- Crud, I see two problems here and I am surprised you got this far. # Because the main map lookup is not a Log4j plugin but instead a special slot in the map lookup plugin, it is not registered in Log4j as a plugin (obvisouly). This means Log4j does not see it when it starts up and configures a logger context. I have a fix for that which makes the main map look up a plugin. # The next problem is that Log4j uses the characters {{:}} and {{-}} are variable value delimiters when it is parsing the pattern. I'm not sure why but I or someone will have to look at that (later for me). > Log4j2 Main Arguments Lookup by name doesn't work > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-1013 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1013 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API, Core, Lookups > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Java 8U31 x64.
