Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-1025:
----------------------------------------

In any case, I would suggest to add a null check in 
{{org.apache.logging.log4j.jul.LevelTranslator#toLevel()}} to make sure we 
never pass along any log event with {{null}} level.

> Custom java.util.logging.Level gives null Log4j Level

>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: JUL adapter
>    Affects Versions: 2.3
>            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
> {code}
>  java.lang.NullPointerException
