JBoss LogManager is a replacement for the JDK logging system LogManager that fixes or works around many serious problems in the default implementation, and add the the functionality to bridge many logging frameworks like JBoss logging, log4j, slf4j, etc.

Teiid LogManager represents the interface to a single logging framework that is easily accessible by any component. Using the LogManager, a component can quickly submit a log message, and can rely upon the LogManager to determine

• whether that message is to be recorded or discarded
• where to send any recorded messages

Teiid LogManager default use jdk logging framework, so if replace it with JBoss LogManager, then JBoss LogManager can be used to control the logging in Teiid Embedded. In addition, with JBoss LogManager's bridge functionality, it's easy to integrate Teiid Embedded with system which use many other logging frameworks, like JBoss logging, log4j, slf4j, etc.

Steps to use JBoss LogManager

Using the following 3 steps to set up using JBoss LogManager in Teiid Embedded:

1. Add jboss-logmanager library to class path, if use Maven to pull dependency add dependencies as below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>

2. Specify the alternate log manager as a system property

-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager

3. Add a logging.properties to class path, or specify a system property point to logging.properties

-Dlogging.configuration=file:/path/to/logging.properties

TeiidEmbeddedLogging is a example for Logging with JBoss LogManager.

A sample logging.properties for Teiid Embedded:

loggers=sun.rmi,com.arjuna

logger.level=TRACE
logger.handlers=FILE,CONSOLE

logger.sun.rmi.level=WARN
logger.sun.rmi.useParentHandlers=true

logger.com.arjuna.level=WARN
logger.com.arjuna.useParentHandlers=true

handler.CONSOLE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.ConsoleHandler
handler.CONSOLE.level=INFO
handler.CONSOLE.formatter=COLOR-PATTERN
handler.CONSOLE.properties=autoFlush,target,enabled
handler.CONSOLE.autoFlush=true
handler.CONSOLE.target=SYSTEM_OUT
handler.CONSOLE.enabled=true

handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN
handler.FILE.properties=append,autoFlush,enabled,suffix,fileName
handler.FILE.constructorProperties=fileName,append
handler.FILE.append=true
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.enabled=true
handler.FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.FILE.fileName=target/teiid-embedded.log

formatter.PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.PATTERN.pattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH\:mm\:ss,SSS} %-5p \[%c\] (%t) %s%e%n

formatter.COLOR-PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.COLOR-PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.COLOR-PATTERN.pattern=%K{level}%d{HH\:mm\:ss,SSS} %-5p \[%c\] (%t) %s%e%n

Bridging with JBoss Logging

To bridge JBoss LogManager with JBoss Logging, the only need to do is add jboss-logging library to class path, if use Maven to pull dependency add dependencies as below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-loggging</artifactId>
</dependency>

If your system use JBoss Logging as logging framework, with above JBoss LogManager bridge JBoss Logging functionality and steps in "Steps to use JBoss LogManager", it's easy to set up logging framework consistent between Teiid Embedded and your system.

Bridging with Log4j

To bridge JBoss LogManager with Log4j, the only need to do is add log4j-jboss-logmanagerlibrary to class path, if use Maven to pull dependency add dependencies as below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>

If your system use Log4j as logging framework, with above JBoss LogManager bridge Log4j functionality and steps in "Steps to use JBoss LogManager", it's easy to set up logging framework consistent between Teiid Embedded and your system.
