With the Anodyzed Onyx (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/anodyzed">http://code.google.com/p/anodyzed</a>) wrapper around Logback you can use log.debug(&quot;Google Protocol Buffer\n{0,binary,dump}&quot;,myBuffer); to write a Hex Dump style entry in the logs.<div>

<div><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;d like to log google protocol buffers received by my server to a file, for later offline processing (the data is in a byte[]).  This is something I only do in when a debug mode is enabled, but it is useful for diagnostics.</div>
