Sends exceptions to http://tracemycode.net from JBoss 7.

Disclaimer

This is just a simple demo to test posting exceptions to http://tracemycode.net. Use at your own risk!

Installation in JBoss 7.1.1 Final

This involves the following steps:

1. Compile source code
2. Add new module to JBoss 7
3. Configure custom log handler in JBoss 7

Compile source code

mvn clean install

Add new module to JBoss 7

Create folders <jboss-home>/modules/com/jorge/logging/tracemycode/main.

Create file <jboss-home>/modules/com/jorge/logging/tracemycode/main/module.xml with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.jorge.logging.tracemycode">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="tracemycode-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <dependencies>
    <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-mapper-asl"/>
    <module name="org.apache.httpcomponents"/>
  </dependencies>
</module>

Copy file tracemycode-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar from target folder into <jboss-home>/modules/com/jorge/logging/tracemycode/main/.

Configure custom log handler in JBoss 7

Open standalone.xml.

Locate <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.1">.

Add, inside that <subsystem> xml tag:

<custom-handler name="tracemycode" class="com.jorge.logging.tracemycode.TraceMyCodeLogHandler" module="com.jorge.logging.tracemycode">
	<level name="ERROR"/>
	<formatter>
		<pattern-formatter pattern="%d{MMM dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%n"/>
	</formatter>
	<properties>
		<property name="clientId" value="ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff"/>
		<property name="version" value="1.0"/>
	</properties>
</custom-handler>

Make sure to change the value for properties clientId and version accordingly:

• clientId - the identifier of the project from tracemycode

• version - the version of your application. it is debatable why this setting is here.

Add the custom handler to the <root-logger>.

<root-logger>
	<level name="INFO"/>
	<handlers>
		<handler name="CONSOLE"/>
		<handler name="FILE"/>
		<handler name="tracemycode"/>
	</handlers>
</root-logger>
