[logback-user] Logging encoded google protocol buffers with logback rolling file appender

[DaveJohnston]

Hi Chris,

Not yet - I was hoping there was an off-the-shelf solution that would just
allow me to pass through a byte[]?   Maybe log.info("{}", byte[]) would work
fine with this ?  I thought the second argument was getting cast to a
string, but maybe not.

If not it looks like writing my own encoder is the way to go.  I'll take a
peak at the interface and see what I can put together.
