           Summary: NullPointException from SyslogAppender

           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hatchet@orcon.net.nz


When no Layout is set for the SyslogAppender, every call to log generates a
NullPointerException

The appender assume a layout will always be set and does not set a default if
none is provided
