> When log message is null, RegexFilter.isLoggable() throws NullPointerException.
> https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logmanager/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/logmanager/filters/RegexFilter.java#L63
> It often results in unexpected outcomes. For example, assuming you have a filter-spec with "not(match(xxx))" to suppress some messages in your logger configuration:
> {code:xml}
>     <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:3.0">
>             <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
>                 <level name="INFO"/>
>                 <filter-spec value="not(match(&quot;SOME_MESSAGE&quot;))"/>
>                 <formatter>
>                     <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN"/>
>                 </formatter>
>             </console-handler>
> {code}
> and an application has a code like this:
> {code:java}
>         try {
>             ...
>         } catch (Exception e) {
>             logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
>         }
> {code}
> "e.getMessage()" could be null. But you want to log the stacktrace 'e' anyway.
> In this case, NullPointerException is thrown from RegexFilter and reaches to LoggerNode and disappears. ConsoleHandler cannot publish the log at all.
> https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logmanager/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/logmanager/LoggerNode.java#L317-L319
> I think 'null' message should simply return 'false' in RegexFilter.isLoggable().
