[logback-user] Exception logging

Hi, First, I was looking for a more recent log framework than log4j and I just discovered logback : thanks for this great piece of software. I am using it for a couple of hours now and I have a question about usage : With log4j i had : logger.error("Something went wrong because " + someReason, exception); But with logback (SLF4J) I have to keep this since the signature is : void org.slf4j.Logger.error(String msg, Throwable t) I would have thought that something like below had existed : void org.slf4j.Logger.error(String msg, Throwable t, Object[]) so i would have written logger.error("Something went wrong because {}", exception, someReason); Any advice ? Thanks David
