         - Utility function to support formatting for
           other purposes (exception strings):

           formatMessage(String messageID);
           formatMessage(String messageID, Object messageParam);
           formatMessage(String messageID, Object[] messageParams);

Strictly -1. This is not the scope of commons-logging! We could add this to some other commons project. Once we add non-logging functionality to commons-logging, people will start using this for non-logging related purposes.

The intent was to facilitate obtaining loggable error/warning information
to be logged AND use the same information in an exception.


However, you raise a very good point.

Other comments on this?

i agree with Henning: definitely out of scope for commons-logging.

(for reasons given previously) i do think that subsidiary artifacts are going to be needed to perform the actual rendering. i would much prefer utility methods to be exposed from classes in those artifacts. these artifacts might be separate components or optional artifacts within commons-logging.
