----------------------------------

             Summary: Add custom stringifier option
                 Key: LOGTOOL-47
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-47
             Project: Log Tool
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: David Lloyd
             Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta1


Sometimes the default toString is no good for formatting an argument.  We could introduce an interface into jboss-logging:

{code}
public interface Stringifier {
    String toString(Object object);
}
{code}

Then we could introduce the following annotation:

{code}
@Retention(SOURCE)
@Target(PARAMETER)
public @interface FormatWith {
    Class<? extends Stringifier> value();
}
{code}

Parameters so annotated will be formatted using an instance (singleton, pre-instantiated with the logger instance) of the stringifier.  Because of the method call overhead, such methods would require an explicit level check in the generated code.
