Yes, Logback (SLF4J) only allows String values so the value will be converted
to a String when passed to those APIs. In the case of Log4j 2 it has a method
that accepts an Object, which is what a GString is to Java. That gets turned
into an ObjectMessage that then later within Log4j 2 will most likely be
converted to a String when it is processed by an Appender. I suspect that if
you call the toString() method on the GString on the logging call that the
problem would go away since one of Log4j's String methods would be used instead.
Log4j 1.2 only accepts Objects in its API but when they are first accessed they
are converted to a String either by a cast or by calling toString(). So I would
expect this would have the same behavior as SLF4J.
