[logback-user] logger option with string format, argument array and throwable

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Merritt,

I think this issue was fixed in SLF4J 1.6.0. The release notes state:

   In the presence of multiple parameters and if the last argument in a
   logging statement is an exception, then SLF4J will now presume that
   the user wants the last argument to be treated as an exception and not
   a simple parameter. See the relevant FAQ entry for further
   details. This fixes bug 70 submitted by Joern Huxhorn who also
   provided the relevant patch.

So in principle you should be able to write

   logger.debug("bad name {}", name, illegalArgumentException);

and logback should handle name as an argument and 
illegalArgumentException as an exception.

If that does not work, it's a bug which should be reported as a jira issue.

Cheers,
