             Summary: Consistent validation exceptions
                 Key: LOG4J2-2443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2443
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Log4j-Audit
    Affects Versions: Log4j-Audit 1.0.0
            Reporter: Andrei Ivanov


Trying to create an {{ExceptionMapper}} for the validation exceptions I notice that there are 2 kind of exceptions that are thrown when logging.

{{AbstractEventLogger}} mostly throws {{AuditException}}, but there's even a {{IllegalStateException}} thrown, that probably can be changed to an {{AuditException}}.

But then there's {{LogEventFactory}} that throws {{ConstraintValidationException}} for validation errors.

I then thought there's an exception hierarchy in place, but it seems there's no relation between {{AuditException}} and {{ConstraintValidationException}}.

Please consider making {{AbstractEventLogger}} also throw {{ConstraintValidationException}} and maybe create some hierarchy for these exceptions to provide them a common base exception, perhaps {{AuditException}}.
