Description

For getting better source code legibility, I propose the extension of the org.apache.commons.logging.Log interface adding the methods above:

void trace(String message, Object... params);
void trace(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);
void debug(String message, Object... params);
void debug(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);
void info(String message, Object... params);
void info(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);
void warn(String message, Object... params);
void warn(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);
void error(String message, Object... params);
void error(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);
void fatal(String message, Object... params);
void fatal(String message, Throwable t, Object... params);

An example usage:

log.debug("This is the debug message number

{0}

!", 1);

The implementation of this methods can use java.text.MessageFormat for translating the message and the parameters on the resultant log message, with low cost. An example implementation can be:

public void debug(String message, Object... params) {
if (isDebugEnabled())

{ debug(MessageFormat.format(message, params)); }

}
