How to pass exception as one of the object[] when doing logging?

[raminaa niilian]

Hi,

I am trying to understand is it possible to have functionality of both these methods in one place? for example have a formatted message with the parameters and also have the exception being logged along with the message?

 void	log(Level level, String msg, Object[] params) 

 void	log(Level level, String msg, Throwable thrown) 

Thank you.

If those are all the methods and you can't add any, then it's not possible. Otherwise, if you control that class, you can add a signature that takes level, msg, params, thrown.

Of course, in lieu of calling

log(level, msg, params, thrown);

you can just call String.format() to format your message and then call

log(level, msg, thrown);
