             Summary: org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger lacks some log(Level, 
String, ...) method
                 Key: LOG4J2-138
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-138
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: API
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta3
            Reporter: Pavel Trka


Hello,
I dont know if Im not alone with this problem but I encountered blocker in 
Log4j2 usage (blocker for me personally of course ;) ). Im posting it as Wish 
issue as it is not a bug.

Im trying to switch from Log4j 1.2 to 2 and it looked like piece of cake but - 
I have developped some logging facade or wrapper solution around log4j 1.2, 
it's something like simple SLF4J, it was necessary because my project logging 
needs are pretty special and also I wanted to have the option to easilly switch 
logging frameworks. 

Problem is that most of my logging code is in own abstract class that is common 
for all implementations, concrete implementations are extending this base and 
have to implement only few methods like log(Level, String) and 
isLevelLoggable(Level) etc.. The advantage is that implementations are very 
simple to write with minimal amount of copy/paste programming.

Problem is that the new org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger iface does not contain 
any log(...) method and Im stuck. 

I have only 2 options - I can use org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger class 
without using iface but I dont want that for obvious reasons - I want to do it 
properly. Second option is to implement all info(), debug(),trace(),.... 
methods in my implementation class but I dont wanna do that because that is 
exactly what I wanted to avoid in my facade solution. 

I know it's my wish only, I dont know if this change had some good reasons but 
Im voting for adding some log() method to Logger iface ;) The same thing 
applies for missing getLevel() method but I already solved this one easilly so 
it's not my priority.

Thanks,
Pavel
