Java Logging

So what's the deal.
  Every where you read, Java Logging is cheap with formatting done only if the level is appropriate etc.
   
  But if I do this:
   
       logger.info(String.format("Hello %s\n", name));
   
  Isn't the formatting done up front?
   
  How can I defer the formatting until the level is checked without checking the level myself everytime?
   
  Anyone have any ideas?
