Re: [hibernate-dev] on broken usage of logger

The solution is really easy guys: log.debugf("The thing I want to log is %s", thing); or log.debug(thing) In addition, as you have noticed, it is better to not use the formatting variants if you aren't actually formatting any strings (it doesn't make a difference if the message isn't logged, but if it is there is a slight performance boost). As for error handling, yes, I think we should be doing somewhat better at that. Normally this is handled by the internal logging layer but with the variations on they types of backends and the ways they are invoked, we should probably put this protection in at the front end as well. I would accept a JBLOGGING JIRA to this effect.
