One downside to logging Objects is that the logging library needs to watch out for recursion. IOW, invoking an object's toString() may end up doing some logging itself. Is that a different scenario than what will happen during LOGGER.info("Sending packet: {}", packet); ?
I can imagine similar scenarios for custom Appenders and all the other objects; these may even have serious reason to log stuff (e.g. to diagnose issues in their own machinery). The way out would be to just save such logging requests while a log request is being processed. I dimly recall having seen just that, though I don't recall details and may have misassociated the code. Regards, Jo
