http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184 Summary: Log array contents if only one parameter is specified in log string Product: SLF4J Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: Core API AssignedTo: slf4j-dev@qos.ch ReportedBy: dumitru.postoronca@gmail.com Hello, When using Java5 var-args which are represented as an array, slf4j logs only the first item in the array (which is correct as per documentation, just that it's not very intuitive). Example: void getFilteredData(String... filterValues) { log.debug("Getting data, filtering using the following settings: {}", filterValues); return dao.doSomething(); } What happens is that only the first item is logged, insted of all the items being logged. The current work-around for this is to have the following method call: log.debug(".... {} {}", "", myArray); // note the first empty log parameter I would suggest enhancing the framework to automatically log the array content if only ONE {} parameter is specified in the log string. In this case: log.debug("... {}", myArray); // logs full array content, not only first item log.debug("... {}={}"); // logs as per current algorithm - first two items I believe it is safe to assume that people will use the log.debug(array) method only when they have more than two parameters to show, thus - if only one parameter is used, it's only reasonable that the FULL content of the passed object is logged, no matter the type.
