[slf4j-dev] Feature Request

[Michael Poeschl]

Hey slf4j guys,

 

I have a feature Request regarding Localized Logging.

 

Since a localized Message is localized ;-) it is hard to google it. I have had that issue with some java programs already. Because there is no way I could know the english message, when the program runs in german.

Therefore I would appreciate a standardized API that allows to have a common part (like an error code) and a localized part on any localized message. For example

 

 

#The properties file

APPLICATION_STARTED=Application {0} has started.

 



//EITHER like this (which does not actually feel that good): 
enum Production

{

    APPLICATION_STARTED("MyApp001");

    publicString CODE;

    privateProduction(String CODE)

    {

        this.CODE= CODE;

    }

}

//used like this

locLogger.info(Production.APPLICATION_STARTED, Production.APPLICATION_STARTED.CODE, "fooApp"); 


//output: [MyApp001] Application fooApp has started.


//--------------------------------------------------------------
//OR maybe another way
locLogger.info("fooApp". Production.APPLICATION_STARTED);
//output: [Production.APPLICATION_STARTED] Application fooApp has started.



I hope I can at least open a discussion.


Thanks a lot for reading.


Michael
