[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-1502) CsvParameterLayout is inserting NUL
character if data starts with {, (, [ or "
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1502?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sumit Singhal updated LOG4J2-1502:
----------------------------------
Description:
I am using CsvParameterLayout to generate a CSV file out of log4j2. One of the column is a JSON string. Following is the logger method I am using:
{code:java}
logger.info("log:{}",json);
{code}
Following is the JSON string:
{code:json}
{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}
{code}
And following is the string which is getting printed in CSV output file:
NUL{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}NUL
The NUL character is the \x00 character. When I open the file in notepad++, then only this character appears. In notepad it shows as space. This poses a problem in CSV processing module.
If there is some alphabet before {, then the output in CSV is fine. It seems as if log4j is escaping '{' with a NUL character. It is happening if the string starts with {, (, [, ' or ".
