             Summary: Custom java.util.logging.Level gives null Log4j Level
                 Key: LOG4J2-1025
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1025
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JUL adapter
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Mikael Ståldal


I use a 3rd party library which uses custom non-standard 
java.util.logging.Level.

The Log4j JUL adapter will emit log event with level set to null in that case, 
which causes NullPointerException in a Log4j filter further on.

This is not acceptable. When encountering an unrecognised JUL Level, the JUL 
adapter should either: 
- emit some default Log4j Level
- throw an Exception with a clear error message immediately
- silently discard the log event
- discard the log event and log a warning to the StatusLogger
