Geng Yuanzhe commented on LOG4J2-2918:
--------------------------------------
I've test your case, and you should just remove the code
*Configurator.reconfigure(config);*
Because when reconfigure of log4j2, the config is first set to the new one, and
then stop the prev one. In your case, the *prev one is the new one*. So this
config is stopped, which will stop the Disruptor and set it to null. Then when
you try to log with the logger, the NPE is thrown.
Maybe the method reconfigure() should do something to protect this case. But in
your case, just delete the *Configurator.reconfigure(config)*, and everything
will be ok.
