[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1038) Incorrect documentation for layout default charset

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14569765#comment-14569765 ]

Each layout is different. The root of layouts that use a charset is {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout}} and the default there is UTF-8.

Each layout that extends {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout}} can provide its own default.

I've added the following to the layouts page:
{code:xml}
        <p>
          The root class for layouts that use a Charset is <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout</code> 
          where the default there is UTF-8. Each layout that extends <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout</code> 
          can provide its own default. See each layout below.
        </p>
{code}

Which specific layout are you talking about?

> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-255 states that the default charset is the system default (a fact I confirmed by running local tests). http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html incorrectly states that the default charset is UTF-8.
> Please update the documentation to state that the default is the system default and strongly recommend (in bold) that the user sets an explicit charset.
