[jboss-as7-dev] manual way to do logging?

I do not want to use the JBoss Logging annotation framework as I do not want to have a hard dependency on JBoss Logging for my project. Is there a manual API that I can use instead to build a message? Something like: String getMessage(long id, Object... params); Can't seem to find anything at the moment. -- Bill Burke JBoss, a division of Red Hat http://bill.burkecentral.com
