This is some funky special case. {{Object.getClass()}} returns null where the
object is a {{ThrowableProxy}}? How is that possible? The Javadoc for
{{Object.getClass()}} in Java 7 does not even hint that null is a legal return
value. Have you tried using one of the {{LoaderUtil}} methods instead of
{{this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(className)}}?

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.7
> Environment: - java version "1.7.0_80" ,Java(TM) SE Runtime
> Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build
> 24.80-b11, mixed mode)
> - Jboss EAP 5.2.0-EAP

> NPE when logging in Java EE/OSGi environment.
> In some cases the ClassLoader (
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getClassLoader()
> ) will be null for a Class.
> With the changes introduced in
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1457 logging with %xEx can cause
> a NullPointerExeception when trying to resolve the stack.
> Since it's not a common occurrence in most environments I suggest the
> ThrowableProxy swallow the NPE in the same way it swallows SecurityExeception
> and other classloading exceptions to avoid extra branching for all
> environments.
