> I am unclear as to why a system property was needed if only Pattern Layout is affected. We had hundreds of services, each of which with default configurations and per-install overrides, where developers copied patterns from other services (some of which using logj1.2) -- the property was helpful because I was able to set it in a shared log4j2.component.properties and apply the behavior everywhere. > I would suggest simply reversing this so that lookups are disabled by default and adding a "lookups" option will enable them. I had considered this and decided it may cause more friction for consumers who want to revert the behavior, but I agree with you that the end result is much more desirable. I'll remove the property and take this approach :-) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
