How to Use TNT4J Loggers

When defining configuration file properties using file: URI notation (e.g., configurationFile for Log4j or Logback) on Windows, change backslashes \ to slashes / so the URI parses successfully.

• In config/log4j.properties, change the log appender to
  log4j.appender.tnt4j=com.jkoolcloud.tnt4j.logger.log4j.TNT4JAppender.
  Note that there should be a line like log4j.appender.tnt4j= in this file, so please comment out or remove all others if present.

• In the core module’s pom.xml, change dependencies — uncomment:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.jkoolcloud.tnt4j.logger</groupId>
    <artifactId>tnt4j-log4j</artifactId>
    <version>0.4.1</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

• When running TNT4J-Streams, use the system property -Dlog4j2.configurationFile to define the log4j2.xml file location, e.g.:
  -Dlog4j2.configurationFile="./config/log4j2.xml".

• Create the Logback configuration file: config/logback.xml.

• In the core module’s pom.xml, change dependencies — uncomment:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.jkoolcloud.tnt4j.logger</groupId>
    <artifactId>tnt4j-logback</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.3</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

• Comment out the Log4j dependencies.

• When running TNT4J-Streams, use the system property -Dlogback.configurationFile to define the logback.xml file location, e.g.:
  -Dlogback.configurationFile="file:./config/logback.xml".

• Change the bin/tnt-streams.bat or bin/tnt-streams.sh file to pass the Logback configuration to Java:

BAT file:

set LOGBACKOPTS=-Dlogback.configurationFile="%RUNDIR%..\config\logback.xml"
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %LOGBACKOPTS% %TNT4JOPTS% ...

SH file:

LOGBACKOPTS=-Dlogback.configurationFile="$RUNDIR/../config/logback.xml"
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $LOGBACKOPTS $TNT4JOPTS
