[logback-user] Compiler selecting wrong Logger method

[Stein, Eric]

<sigh/> I'm a nitwit. I got confused because at my last job we used a
wrapper around slf4j, and the signature of the method was debug(String,
Object...). Out of curiosity, is there a reason why that format wasn't
used? The compiler should be smart enough to call the more specific
debug(String, Object, Object) when appropriate. Changing from Object[]
to Object... should also be backwards-compatible...

Thanks, Marco!

Eric

If I'm not wrong, using - Object[] - or the variable list - Object... -
is a bit different and in order to have the correct method, you should
write
this:

        LOGGER.debug("Hi {} {} {}", new Object[] { arg1, arg2, arg3 });

I'm seeing a funny error when trying to write to logback. 
        import org.slf4j.Logger;
        import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

        final String arg1 = "arg1";
        final String arg2 = "arg2";
        final String arg3 = "arg3";
        LOGGER.debug("Hi {} {}", arg1, arg2);
        LOGGER.debug("Hi {} {} {}", new String[] { arg1, arg2, arg3 });
        LOGGER.debug("Hi {} {} {}", arg1, arg2, arg3);
     
The last line is giving this error message:

The method debug(Marker, String, Object, Object) in the type Logger is
not applicable for the arguments (String, String, String, String)

I don't see why it isn't using the method whose signature is
debug(String, Object[]), especially given that I'm not using a Marker.
I'm running in Eclipse Indigo, and my classpath looks like this:

logback-classic-1.0.0.jar
logback-core-1.0.0.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar

Does anybody know why the compiler is using the wrong method?

Thanks,
Eric Stein
