-------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException without any `requestContext` attributes
                 Key: LOG4J2-2417
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2417
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Log4j-Audit
            Reporter: Andrei Ivanov


The Log4j-Audit project page indicates this as the place to file tickets, but I don't see the 1.0.0 version for it.

Investigating the use of the project, I started with a basic `catalog.json`, with just an event and 2 attributes, both with {{requestContext = false}}.

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory.validateContextConstraint(LogEventFactory.java:385)
	at org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory.validateContextConstraints(LogEventFactory.java:380)
	at org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory.access$400(LogEventFactory.java:57)
	at org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory$AuditProxy.invoke(LogEventFactory.java:263)
{noformat}

As far as I understand, request context attributes are not required.
??While usage of a RequestContext is not required, the use of one should be considered a best practice.??
