[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-186) log4j configuration fails when reading configuration file with underlying operation system encoding-language settings

["Noel Grandin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13616259#comment-13616259 ] 

Noel Grandin commented on LOG4J2-186:
-------------------------------------

Ah yes, the casing problem :-)

The fix for this would to search the LOG4J code for calls to toUpperCase() and toLowerCase(), and to make sure that the ones dealing with non-locale-specific data are doing this:

   toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH)
   toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH)

For most applications, this means all of the calls, since toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() are almost never used on anything locale-specific.
