[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (LOGMGR-104) SyslogHandler doesn't handle multi-byte characters correctly

SyslogHandler doesn't handle multi-byte characters correctly ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LOGMGR-104 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-104 Project: JBoss Log Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 1.5.2.Final Environment: - WildFly 8.0.0.Final - Oracle JDK7u51 - OS X 10.9.2 Reporter: Kyle Shanahan Assignee: James Perkins Fix For: 1.5.3.Final, 2.0.0.Beta1 Attachments: corrupted.png, corrupted2.png, corrupted3.png SyslogHandler doesn't handle multi-byte characters correctly. I tried to log multi-byte message with both of org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.SyslogHandler and org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender for same message, only SyslogHandler output were corrupted. Step to reproduce (It might need to define -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in _JAVA_OPTIONS): 1. define a facility local1 at localhost and make syslog accept UDP packets. 2. define a logger: {noformat} /subsystem=logging/logger=utf8mb4log:add(level=INFO) {noformat} 3. define a SyslogHandler: {noformat} /subsystem=logging/custom-handler=TEST_SH:add(class="org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.SyslogHandler", module="org.jboss.logmanager", formatter="SyslogHandler: %s%e", level=INFO, properties={serverHostname="localhost:514", facility="LOCAL_USE_1", truncate=false, maxLength=1024, syslogType="RFC3164" }) /subsystem=logging/logger=utf8mb4log:assign-handler(name=TEST_SH) {noformat} 4. define a SyslogAppender: {noformat} /subsystem=logging/custom-handler=TEST_LOG4J:add(class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender", module="org.apache.log4j", formatter="log4j: %s%e", level=INFO, properties={syslogHost="localhost:514", facility="local1"}) /subsystem=logging/logger=utf8mb4log:assign-handler(name=TEST_LOG4J) {noformat} 5. get and deploy example project at https://github.com/lbtc-xxx/utf8mb4log 6. Access the servlet http://localhost:8080/utf8mb4log/ And you will get like this: (I can't put 4 byte UTF-8 characters here... because database error occured): {noformat} Mar 8 17:29:09 UNKNOWN_HOSTNAME java[9896]: SyslogHandler: ???????????? {noformat} I would send a pull request later.
