Working on an app using Akka 2 deployed with Play-mini. I pulled logback into the project and it works, but its config gets stomped so it was necessary to do a Joran configuration method and have that called at startup. Then I read that play had moved to logback so I rummaged around to see how to use the logger that’s built into Play and figured it out, but as soon as I type:
Logger.debug(
it only supports:
debug(String message, Throwable error)
debug(String message)
The whole point of logback is the variable argument stuff so you don’t have to dirty up your code with:
if (Logger.isDebugEnabled()){
Logger.debug("my expensive message: " + largeObject.toString());
}
So I must be missing something. Docs are not great in this area either.
BTW, here is a thread about the config getting mussed.
Yes, Play is hard coded to use LogBack, and unless you specify, it takes over your log settings. Very annoying.
