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

             Summary: Use forName instead of getLevel and valueOf for configuration
                 Key: LOG4J2-589
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-589
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configurators
    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
            Reporter: James Hutton


Without this one cannot use custom log levels in configuration without forking a large amount of code.  Either the forName method needs to be removed and custom log levels should be explicitly forbidden, or support should be consistent.
Classes that would need to be modified:
BaseConfiguration, NullConfiguration, and DefaultConfiguration.
