-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a bit confused on how this works at all. The formatted logger uses
String.format(). The javadoc for the format syntax
-http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax -
indicates that the argument indexes have to be followed by a $, which you have
only done for the date in the second message.
I suspect what is happening is that in the first message %1 and %2 are taken to
be widths and not argument indexes, so it automatically uses argument 1 and
argument 2. In the second message the %1$ indicates the first argument should
be used while %2s causes the first argument to be used since it is the first
format specifier that does not have an argument index.
Please correct your format strings and then close this if that resolves the
problem.
