[logback-user] commons-logging -> sl4j -> logback

With log.debug("The object is " + object), it will always call .toString() on object because the string argument needs to be constructed before the call to .debug().

To avoid this use either

  If (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
    Log.debug("The object is " + object);
  }

Or the slf/logback usage

  Log.debug("The object is {0}", object);

Which will delay the call to .toString() until it has determined that debug logging is needed.

In a previous project I switched from commons-logging -> log4j to sl4j -> logback.
One of the reasons I did that was the overhead in log4j when providing a object in the log...
log.debug("This is a object" + object);
would cause the object.toString to be called even debug was not enabled.

Now I work on a new project that uses commons-logging -> sl4j -> logback (jcl-over-slf4j)

My question is now, will this still call object.toString.. even debug is not enabled

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
....
log.debug("This is a object" + object);

I would like to get rid of commons-logging and jcl-over.sl4j and only have sl4j and logback.
