Potentially useful API update to look at here. Some sort of Logger that
throws an exception with the log message instead?

Hi,
we have quite a few places in our code where we do:
logger.error("Param {} must be in [{}-{}]", name, low, high);
throw new ValidationException("Param " + name + " must be in [" + low +
"-" + high + "]");
This is obviously ugly. Other options would be to use
String msg = String.format("Param %s must be in [%s-%s]", name, low,
high);
logger.error(msg);
throw new ValidationException(msg);
or
String msg = MessageFormatter.format("Param {} must be in [{}-{}]", new
Object[] {name, low, high}).getMessage();
logger.error(msg);
throw new ValidationException(msg);
Both are not ideal. Can't we have a logger.format method which returns a
FormattingTuple w/o the explicit array creation
and allow logger.error etc. to be called with a FormattingTuple? Then I
could write
FormattingTuple entry = logger.format("Param {} must be in [{}-{}]",
name, low, high);
logger.error(entry);
throw new ValidationException(entry.getMessage());
For my own exception classes I could then even offer a constructor that
takes a FormattingTuple and internally use the
message and the throwable (if it is not null).
