I was meaning to ask. Why do you need support from LocationAwareLogger for argument arrays if you are going to use logback-classic underneath SLF4J?
I'm not sure what you are getting at here. The implementation I wrote for myself used Logback's filterAndLog method if the implementation being used was logback and Log4j's log method when it was the implementation, both of which support passing objects. However, I wouldn't want to directly tie SLF4J to any implementation. Am I misunderstanding something?
SLF4J must not be tied to any particular implementation. There is no misunderstanding about that. I just had not seen public class EventLogger { .... omitted code public static void logEvent(EventData data) { if (eventLogger.instanceofLAL) { ((LocationAwareLogger) eventLogger.logger).log(EVENT_MARKER, FQCN, LocationAwareLogger.ERROR_INT, data.toXML(), null); } else { eventLogger.logger.error(EVENT_MARKER, data.toXML(), data); } } In light of the above, requesting that the LocationAwareLogger.log method admit an argumentArray parameters makes sense. Given that there are implementations of the LocationAwareLogger interface outside slf4j.org, I don't think the LocationAwareLogger interface can be changed lightly. However, the issue certainly merits a bugzilla entry. Ralph, may I ask you to enter a bugzilla bug report in relation with this topic? TIA.
